Urania is a commission completed in 2010 of an artists studio in a tropical country. The intense heat required an open space that would provide constant natural ventilation, whilst the glaring sunlight called for a design that could provide shade throughout the day. A Small Studio designed a fragile and transparent cube supported by pivoting walls that can be adjusted to create different areas. A strong concrete shell –completely independent from the inner cube- protects the cube with openings that designed according to the sunlight path. The lavish vegetation grows uncontrollably in this climate, so gardens have been allowed to enter the house and blur the boundaries between inner and outer space.
