Rock Creek House in Arketipo

Rock Creek House is featured in this month’s issue of Arketipo. Laura Malighetti writes: “Il processo di ripensamento dell’edificio coinvolge in modo radicale proprio questi ultimi “mantenendo il fantasma dell’ordine esistente” […] Le aperture originarie, infatti, subisscono allargamenti, restringimenti e slittamenti che trasformano le facciate in una composizione astratta e irregolare di forature.”

“The relationship between Principal Hall and its neighbouring spaces provides an example of what is perhaps NADAAA’s greatest contribution to this spectacular project: their remarkably deft and judicious ability to orchestrate frequent and meaningful changes in scale […] a succession of spaces, each correctly calibrated for its own needs, yet arranged so as to produce vivid sectional shifts.”

Rock Creek House Featured in Detail

Rock Creek House has been featured on Detail Magazine. Read the article HERE.

“An essential part of the new design is the revitalization of the historic brick walls. Through careful restoration and combination with modern elements, they shine in new splendor. The frames of the newly positioned windows are even more delicate and filigree compared to the raw walls. Square and oblong, sometimes just as a small opening, next to it is a large, glazed volume: in different sizes and arrangements, the glass surfaces break the picture of the massive views.”
