This project was a very small house connected to a large warehouse that was converted into a studio. The residence was to be designed for the late artist Lebbeus Woods.

Mr. Woods in his house

Much of Woods' work was provocative and edgy. A common theme in this work is the contrast between the established and wild sci-fi inventions. Woods spoke a language of sharp angles in his art, but the photo of him in his home suggested that he didn't want to live in an environment as harsh as his art. My goal was to create a design that would reconcile the angles of Woods' work, and the light, clean environment that was his home.
