SITE PLAN
WRITING CABINS
Located in Connecticut on a heavily wooded site and faced with steep topography, a writing retreat welcomes authors to a stay on the beautiful terrain. This proposal provides a home away from home ensuring relaxation yet balanced by a high response of productivity that is provided by its direct connection to nature.
“The desk in the room, near the bed, with a good light, midnight till dawn, a drink when you get tired, preferably at home, but if you have no home, make a home out of your hotel room or motel room or pad: peace.” –Jack Kerouac, on the setting for writing

GARDEN FOLLY
Located on the same site in Connecticut you will find a garden folly inspired by the art installation Urban Lights by Chris Burden located in Los Angeles, California. I aimed to create a mesh between the forest and urban tendencies. The material of the cylinder columns is an etched frosted glass that serves to resemble the veins of the tree bark and nature around it.
