Part of an existing house, the design for this space required an extension that could provide working space to a previously inaccessible view of its adjacent landscape. Through very subtle spatial gestures, the house extends upwards. This project addressed the client’s working space needs and how the design could be explored as an act that was simply framing the view… An office as a platform for the exterior site, giving space for contemplation. From reinforcing the existing structure to customizing steel and carpentry elements, the design and execution of this built project required close interaction and coordination among the different crafts.
Architecture, as an act, strives to be imperceptible to its surrounding site, finding ways to praise it subtly.
