Waterfront House

From the initial approach, this house appears to be two opaque volumes. They are articulated with textured concrete panels, hand cast from computer-generated 20" x 20" foam molds and made from sand from the site, establishing a contextual connection with nature and the land. Two dynamic patterns, one horizontal and one vertical, weave together to create a complex plaid that captures light and shadow on the curvilinear forms. The panels clip to masonry walls and act as a rain screen.
