| SINKSKIN
An expressive skin made out of
locally re-claimed stainless steel
sinks is wrapped around a concrete
structure of walls and floors. Unity
is created through diversity by
making a complex pattern out of
sinks of various sizes. By cladding
all sides of the building and raising
it above the ground the building
appears like a shiny bead on an
oversized necklace.
REEL-ESTATE
Four stacked houses are squeezed
into a narrow plot, making the
facade twist and bend above the
pavement. These shapes form
balconies with panoramic views of
the street and allow more daylight
into the rooms. The slightly bent
shape of the wood originally from
cable reels creates the curved
form, turning this basic element
into a gracious architectural
gesture.
