A Home Around a Pool

30,000 Sq. Ft.
This home is for a ceramist and a painter. The couple wished to have spaces in which they could each create their art in a specific and solitary way. As a design strategy, the home is divided into a studio and living unit. A screened courtyard in the middle allows for ample light and cross ventilation. It serves as an interstitial space that separates but also connects the two sections of the home.

The Workshop
We built this low-cost shed with the intent to create a beautiful workspace for hands-on experiments and a quiet space for reflection on stressful workdays. The intent was that the space be breathable and lightly touch the ground. A concrete base grounds the structure, while a bamboo frame and jute walls allow for the play of light and shadow. The structure is planned between small gardens to create a space wherein you feel welcome, and surrounded by the pronounced beauty of natural and simple things.
