Project Merri

Mill-finished aluminium shingles provide a sense of order to this architecture. From a distance, it is a box with a familiar scale and form that blends in with the surroundings. From a mid-range, one starts to recognize the architectural discourse. Standing next to it, one understands the interlocking details and the beautifully articulated mechanism behind the complex expression. The house becomes one with the landscape, reflecting continuous gradation of surrounding colors, adding a sophisticated poetry to a simple life in the woods.
