A studio house that I am working on ...
... inspired by the 'Golden Section'. The building in plan, cross section and elevation playfully explores proportion. The Golden Section (or Phi) proportional system is common to all natural things and has been explored extensively throughout art history. As a studio that I can paint and make things it seemed appropriate that the building celebrates fundametal form. (Also the site was a triangle!)
Note: ‘The Golden Section is a Law of Proportionality first developed by Vitruvius. It is a Law that occurs frequently in nature and is widely used by artists and scientist in their work. Essentially the law states that two unequal parts of a whole must be in relationship to each other to create a satisfactory image to the eye. Numerically Golden Section is approx. 1.618034 or 38% to 62%. This proportion reoccurs throughout our lives and can be said to create an ideal proportion between two objects or two parts of a whole.’
