Two projects that deal with the idea of framing as a tool for producing new relationships and contexts. Both projects share the color black as their starting point, understanding black as a method of exchange as well as the black frame.
The first is a project for a facade and a public square. The structure splits itself apart from the city like a wedge and creates a unique homogenous interior. In this case the space acts as a device for understanding the city.
The second is a project for a single room. The room is moved vertically along a sea wall by a floating lava rock which acts as a buoy. Thus the room is controlled by the tide as well as the movement of the sun.

the rooms spaces displaced through a series of windows and niches which are organized vertically against a thick staircase.
access to the spaces is determined by the cycle of the tide and movement of the sun, only allowing light into certain parts of the main space at certain times of day.
