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.”
