Conceived  at the height of the great recession, size and program were dictated by new and still evolving lending requirements. The
design approach was economy in form and material without sacrificing performance, size or amenity. The result is a box sheathed in fiber cement and gypsum with small amounts of strategically placed walnut and ipe. Floors are a custom mixed, light weight concrete poured directly over the subfloor and fan troweled. In the landscape, erosion and species diversity is supported through deliniations of human and non human space. Concrete hardscapes are minimized and broken with areas of permeability to minimize off-site stormwater runoff.
