October 2012 - Trademax Publications

feature
The material selection was deliberate:
each one's colour and texture was
employed to suit and entice a particular
ambience to the space being enclosed. It
also assists the viewer in identifying the
organizational definition of the private
and public realms. The private bedrooms
are clad in slate - primordial, secure and
warm - with selected openings punctured
toward carefully curated views. The
public realm on the other hand is
wrapped with timber, lending to the
space a much lighter and inviting quality.
It also serves as a threshold and means of
transition between the two.
These glass infill
panes prevent the
stone and wood from
ever wholly meeting,
forever remaining in a
state of tension.
