Projects and studies

Each project can be read three ways: as it is seen, as it is planned, and as it is cut through. One project is in design development. The others are concept studies made in the studio, and they say so.

01

Ridge House: a figure standing at a tall opening in a board marked concrete undercroft, a hard shaft of daylight crossing the wall.

Concept study

A corridor that is a window

Three masses, one route

Concept study  ·  Planning

Massing and access tested together, so the walk through the site decides the arrangement rather than the other way round.
