Development

2D Compositions evolved into Complex interlocking wood joints The Concept of transversal was present in all the iterations of the block, with each providing a motion in all three axes. Videos captured the mood of the spaces I wished to emulate, more specifically the moments where the systemwas most broken, or most unique. Video Stills and Photography: the suffocation of Society

House For Calder. Fall 2012


A House For Wave Hill Situated at Wave Hill in the Bronx the site has a awarded a rare NYC commision, a house in the woods. Placed amongst a series of century old buildings, and at the top of a grassy slope, you’re awarded views of the hudson river as a backdrop to thepermanent art collection at Wave Hill. The commission for this spot, a house for a master artist, needs to capitalize on these natural features, not impede on the natural beauty of the site, and create a new destination that is worthy of becoming an object on this natural landscape.

As you proceed to enter the house, you arrive at the entry to the building, a level pathway that pierces into the roof, and acts as the only visible disruption to its clean orthagonal roof form. As you follow the path the walls of the roof elevate above your head, until you are no longer at ground level, though you have not climbed any ramps or steps. You arrive above the living room to a vast expanse of You descend the staircase into a house that sits

as you move closer you arrive upon a cutout in the pool, that stretches from your feet, all the way into the underside of the structure, and as you look further you can see the underside of the structure.
