Studies
Houses that listen to their land.
Compositions made in REFABS: studies of place, light and material. Each one began as a brief.
These are studies, not catalogue models. None of them will be built twice: each shows how a different life and a different site lead to a different house.
The Lake
Low and pale, it keeps its back to the road and opens every room to the water.
The Meadow
One long room under a deep roof, with a terrace that turns the whole field into a garden.
The Clearing
Quiet volumes set between the trees, with windows cut deep so the light arrives softened.
The Ridge
A weathered base that holds the slope, and a light upper storey that looks out over it.
V Yours
The next study is your house.
It begins as a few lines and a way of living, and becomes a house no one else will have.
