Ross Additions (J-3)
New Haven, CT
1978-1981
Looking down on the lower floor, a tile and mahogany eat-in, work-in kitchen emerges. And, looking up at the third floor a sit-in, work-in bedroom materializes. Skylights, strip lights, luxo lights, pendant lights, and natural light describe the various areas. A Greek chorus (line) of columns (accompanied by linking piano stairs), a sinking sun/rising pyramid facade, and symmetrical doors emphasize the visual and circulatory axis through the house. Light, axis, and image support digestion and dream.
