This private studio is a site-specific design that transforms on two scales to reframe the relationship of its occupant to the architecture, and the architecture to its environment.

With the former, at the human scale, each of the functional requirements–eating, sleeping, sitting, working–are designed to be concealed within the depth of the wall: a functional ribbon of custom, operable panels wraps the inside of the studio space, maximizing programmatic flexibility. With the latter, the entire structure is designed around a rotating, central pivot anchored into an outcropping on the edge of a pond in the landscape in order to allow for a complete transformation of its relationship to the landscape.
