Architecture Designing Inside-Out Spaces

An interior corridor at the Artist Residency, where the bamboo screen facade filters sunlight into the space. This transitional area is neither fully inside nor out, creating a sheltered walkway that remains connected to the natural environment.

Pivoting bamboo-clad doors at the Artist Residency open up to the garden. These custom fixtures allow the inhabitants to control the level of openness and porosity, transforming the boundary between the interior studio and the exterior landscape.

The rooftop terrace of Studio Tarai, where brick volumes are interwoven with light steel pergolas. The slatted screens and open courts create a series of outdoor rooms that are defined by the interplay of solid mass and lightweight structure.

A courtyard at Studio Tarai, where a tree grows through an opening in the structure. The design uses layers of brick, steel, and slatted screens to create a rich texture and a seamless flow between built and unbuilt spaces.

Another view of Residence B, showing the relationship between the solid, board-formed concrete volumes and the lighter, screened upper levels. A slatted roof structure adds another layer of texture and filters light into the spaces below.

A house designed as a pavilion floating above a garden. The structure features large glass panels and a handcrafted metal skin with a soft patina, designed to blur the boundaries between inside and out and respond to the changing light.
