These first ideas are based on a method of support first devised by DaVinci. I have taken them further by removing horizontal 'stoppers', and replacing them with tension cable that runs through the length of the structure, down through the line of butted joints.
I was very interested in achieving a degree of porosity in the structure so as to maintain 'contact' with the garden beyond.
This idea presents a remarkable opportunity to layer planes and play with light and shadow.
Maintaining the tectonic of alternated 2x4's can work even when the angle of incidence fluctuates.
By simply extending certain planes and altering the vector of the butted joint, one can easily achieve compartmentalisation within the structure.
