The
residential renovation provided opportunities to amplify programmatic
differentiation as well as develop storage systems that are
responsive to localized conditions. The delineation between the
bathrooms and the bedrooms are heightened with the introduction of a
continuous sliding wood wall that amplifies the difference between
service and living spaces while creating clear programmatic
delineation.

The
storage devices seek to examine the formation of parametric
transitional systems to manipulate and differentiate physical
attributes within single operative systems. The departure point for
the living room bookshelf geometry is the idealized grid of the stair
while the materiality is the wood treads and risers. As forces are
applied in the design process, the system transitions geometrically
and materially from the idealized orthogonal grid to a deformed
hexagonal pattern. The storage in the office is initiated with a
series of neutral horizontal lines along several walls. Control
geometry is established, determining segments of the horizontal lines
to which an algorithm operates in a binary methodology extending
horizontal segments to become the shelving.
