The
designs are not primarily visually driven.
The generation of geometry and
material configurations are performance driven.
The design concept comes
from a simple idea – two boxes, one on top of the other,
slightly twisted to produce a hyperbolic surface. The facade
thus faces towards the street, or towards the sky.
CNC-milled components are assembled into a complex 3-D structure. This facade strategy has both double curvature and variably sized openings.
Digital fabrication machines such as cardboard cutters, laser cutters and CNC milling are used because the office believes that the physical model is vital to understanding architecture, to anticipating the construction of a building or component.
