“At first appearance, with its modest windows and great expanse of brick, a renovated four-story home dating to the 1920’s in the Rock Creek neighborhood of Washington, D.C., looks conservative and polite… But in the rear, the house opens up […] The dazzling light from the exposed southern side of the house is the visual, sensual, ever-changing anchor. When the residence is lit from within, the transparent southern facade reveals the function of every room, each of which has its own singe or double aperture.”

“What we are trying to create, whether through the digital process or not, is a situation where a certain ethic of control comes into being by gaining an insight about smart ways of using materials, effective ways of assembling them, and a more optimal way of impacting the use of labor on site. This control that you regain over the built artifact is not control for power’s sake, and nor is it a way of gaining efficiency, optimization, or intelligence per se, but it is a way of thinking of the designed environment as part of a dialogue between cultural, economic and social priorities all at once.”
