STONE VEIL / SPATIAL STUDY

01—06

Within the rock.

Beyond the rain.

An imagined dwelling embedded in a wet hillside. A narrow opening carries light through the weight of the stone.

01 / THE SITE

THE HILLSIDE BECOMES THE ENVELOPE.

02—03 / APPROACH & THRESHOLD

A seam of light.

A world within.

The dark face of basalt gives way to a tall entrance fissure. Stone steps draw the eye toward daylight.

04—05 / INTERIOR STUDIES

Weight outside.

Quiet within.

Basalt, timber and a restrained interior. The view opens where the building meets the valley.

04 / LIVING

A ROOM IN THE SHELTER OF STONE.

One material language.

From the landscape outside
to the surfaces within.

05 / KITCHEN

THE LANDSCAPE ENTERS THROUGH LIGHT.

06 / THE ENVELOPE

Stone meets

a warm seam.

Wet basalt holds the rain. Weathered metal marks the joint. A fine amber light traces the threshold.

LOCAL BASALT / WEATHERED METAL / TIMBER

A precise interruption in a rough surface.

The condition.
The response.

The valley receives intense rainfall and short periods of direct light. Building outward would weaken the presence of the rock face and expose the interior to the weather.

Architecture is reduced to an incision. A deep mineral veil carries water past the facade while the central seam marks entry, circulation and the changing height of daylight.
