Tiny House
Commissioned to design a “Tiny Home” that would be mass produced and economical. This gave us another opportunity to study our design concept - Architecture as a comprehensive relationship between the built environment, landscape, engineering, and art.
Due to the size of the Tiny Home, the following items were examined: programmatic needs, budget, structural system, connective to the landscape, and how to introduce natural light into the interior volumes. We also noted that the flexibility of interior volumes would be key.
The Tiny Home was divided into Private and Public zones. This allowed for the zones to function independently and to be defined by the use of materials. The Private Zone (Bedroom and Bathroom) defined by the metal encloser was noted to be quiet and restful spaces with critically placement of opening to minimize the natural light entering the volume. The Public Zone (Living, Kitchen, and seating area) defined by the glass encloser becomes an expressive and flexible space that maximizes natural light entering the volume. Also, within this zone - the residents would be engaged with landscape more. The glass walls are moveable, allowing for the Public Zone to expand in size when the weather allows.
This design concept was always seen to blend more complex forms to the natural landscape… a blurring of the boundaries between manufactured and nature. After shaping the Tiny Home restrictive volume with flexibility and critically placements of openings. A similar agreement can be made about the architectural value for a simple structure, which is even transported to site and/or built by modest means by engaging with the landscape in a creative and thoughtful manner.
