From the end of the pavilion and porch, it is clear how the structure dissolves when the structure meets the outside. The horizontal joints of the side panels give way to the open slats that block the sun, but allow the breeze and ambient light. Columns and beams have been subdivided into smaller parts, reducing…
In the pavilion, joinery is so expressive. The double rafters support a huge, deep hanging roof. The supporting wood beams show the hardware used to connect the smaller elements used to construct them. It fits in an honest way of showing how things are put together. The stick-like details and exposed joints, combined with the…
The staircase gets similar results with the details from other parts of the house, especially the pleasant pavilion. It is not a solid wall but a slat motif is adopted and there is an open joint through which light passes. This has the additional effect of reducing the visual weight of the stairs. When combined…
. The toilets showcase the strict details and ideas that lay in the rest of the project. Berber felt exquisitely, placed with a slender exposing joint.

Fixed by two vertical tower elements that accommodate staircase and double height space this design is a complex composition of slipped volume and shape. Achieving this appearance while maintaining…
In stark contrast to the design process, literally, figuratively, everything was standing. Hammer flight, several tons of concrete casting, welding to a steel pole where the beam rises sharply – It was difficult to understand it all. This is when the true education of the architect began. It is the moment that we recognize that…
