TRAPEZOID

Building codes required that this structure, which combines a residence and a pottery studio, take on a trapezoidal shape. Within those constraints, we intertwined exterior and interior and set the walls at an angle in some places, creating an active rather than a static living space.

Structure: Reinforced concrete
Site area: 172.05m²
Building area: 68.00m²
Total floor area: 194.32m²
period: 2004–2007
