hmmm the curves of the roofline make me wish it fell more into the monolithic category, but it is still lovely.

any hints?

hey that's my work~ I wish. I find myself when I sketch to curve the tops of my roofs eliminating ridge plates. Planning departments arent usually sympathetic to them. That image is sexy though.

Its not the ***former employee of david chipperfield is it?

architechnophilia [hah - i cut and pasted it] that would be a good strategy for a high-moment continuous rafter structure, for spanning without base ties ? [pardon my layman's terminology]

I wonder if the cylindrical-section roof cap here is an off-the-shelf item ?

Holz, I like that entry porch. Looks like someone cupping a hand to hear who is coming. I wonder to what room that horizontal window leads.

it's a house and studio,

lower floor is studio, i would think. upper would be house.

and yeah, the entry is phenomenal.

i want to start a study of architect's signage...

firm = in Zurich

project = in Feldis

nicknamed the "wood crystal" because of the application of the same wood type on all of the surfaces of the project ('cept the glass, obv.)

here's another project by the same firm; a recycling collection station in Winterthur:

yes! it's AG Open Operating System. They don't have much built work, but that house has shown up in a few publications and books. the interiors are really nice but poorly documented on their site.

The only oddity in those lovely wooden interiors (love the rising "landscape" surrounding the open kitchen) is the lighting. . .

i agree SDR, they do seem to stand out. even though i like how minimal the fixtures are, i think it would have been more effective to provide some recessed up-lighting and wall-wash lights hidden from view, which would color the space with light rather then create spots of it.

what first caught my eye with the project is how much it seems to change when viewed from multiple angles, when viewed from the west it looks stout and grounded, but from the east appears more slender and precarious on the site.

end critique.
