SHIFT HOUSE
Location: Tuscany, Italy The Shift Hosue, located in the Tuscan Hills of Italy evolved from the classical and contemporary architecture and design of Italy. Natural materials connect the building to the natural surroundings. A color scheme reminicent of the warmth of a Tuscan sunset upon the green hills deepens the connection.

PRECEDENTS
Limonia
PALAZZO RUCELLAI
A simple rectangle derived from the footprint of a limonia served as the basis for the architecture. Shifts in grid and shape lend dynanisism to the facaade and interior. The final floorplan became a source of inspiration throughout the design as seen in the exterior cladding and interior tileing.
