Lac Megantic
—Quebec, CA
Nestled in between
the picturesque landscape of Lac-Megantic a quaint guesthouse that
acts as an extension to the family’s main dwellings. The
design intent is to fully utilize the seasonal changes by integrating
nature into the built environment. —Quebec, CA
The guesthouse emerges from the hard landscape, slowly defining a transition between nature and architecture. The roof terrace above the guest house acts as a welcomed extension from the main dwelling to the lake creating a seamless transition from one home to the other.
The Garden House
—Chandigarh, IN
The Garden House is
designed as a series of small outdoor frames actively interlacing
with the interior’s, generating an intricate series of internal and
external spaces. —Chandigarh, IN
The house becomes a play where the walls are constantly folding between public and private. The design focuses on using screens of different opacities to help curate the various degrees of privacy. Constantly unfolding itself, and the journey takes the user through a labyrinth between the inhabited rooms and nature.
The house is used as a popular stage for different conditions: inside/outside, lit/dark, private/public, hidden/revealed, quite/noisy.
BKK House
—Bangkok, TH
The Architecture
establish a relationship with nature through the elements of light
and shadow, sounds, materiality and landscape blurring boundaries
between public/private and internal/external. —Bangkok, TH
Achieved through the careful curation of materials such as glass, timber and concrete, dissolving those into lights, translucencies, reflections, refractions and textures. The main focus was to define a home that breaks away from a traditional understanding of a series of separated and isolated rooms but to create a series of open transitional spaces through the use of tectonic elements.
We are after a house that is unconstrained by tradition, but rather is activated by the symbiotic relationship that tradition and modernism have to offer to each other.
An Embedded Dwelling
—Burgel, DE
The architecture is developed using traditional design methods of Northern Germany through the application of Tectonic components such as pitch roof, plaster, wood, glass and clear relationship with green elements. This allows a strong relationship with the site to be established.
The design aims to simultaneously create a seamless relationship with the surrounding, but to also establish a “grammar” that represents its inhabitants.
In order to do this, a list of traditional architectural elements was collected and manipulated based on what would best represent the identity and personality of its final user.
