Not unlike a babushka
doll, the project for a house for a large family in Berlin explores the concept
of a house-in-a-house.
While the inner house
investigates the properties of Le Corbusier’s Domino frame, the outer house
plays on the possibilities of thin-shell construction in the tradition of
Robert Maillart. At the intersection of the two systems, unexpected spatial
qualities unfold – a strict Cartesian matrix encountering an amorphous
topological surface. The space between acts as a buffer and can be assigned to
either inside or outside use.
From a technical point of
view and in pursuit of a dialogue on sustainable development, the geometry and
materiality of the structural shell offers an ideal armature for geothermal
energy distribution – using the thermal mass of concrete for radiant heating
and cooling.
The building is encased in
a pixilated field of ceramic mosaic tiles of manifold colors, perceptually
transforming according to subtle shifts in weather conditions – an effect
amplified by the shimmering fabric of oversize curtains.
Attempting
to address the conflicting inputs of the clients that ranged from a love for
Brazilian architecture to a desire for the perceived comfort of English country
estates, the project navigates within a surreal amalgamation of multiple themes
– the chance meeting of unexpected elements. Team: Marc Angelil, Sarah Graham, John Brockway, Mark Ericson, Dominik Arioli
