Designer's studio
The building program is a studio for an eyeglass designer resting upon an existing structure and containing a completely transparent west facade which provides a view over the park. Hovering overthe building and containing large sliding glass doors, the work space of the designer can open up to the environment. During summer, aluminium louvers screen the incoming sunlight and the space is cooled by an air conditioning and ventilation system. During winter, the louvers retract and allow the sunlight to warm the space. Heating is also installed within the flooring. The building consists of a lightweight structure in laminated fir beams and stainless steel columns with architectural details and a inventive methodology, allowing the building to be resolved entirely during the design phase of the project. It was prefabricated off site and easily assembled in a short period of time.
