How Shadow lines can bring architecture to life

Initially, this house reveals what I call two independent sliding plains, the top casting a shadow over the first level. We designed this modern home to provide shelter at the front door, but also to provide drama and depth to the home while keeping the home’s simple design roots intact. We deliberately enhanced the shadow to make the home feel alive by creating an illusion of visual changes at varying times of the day. Note that the ceiling is painted darker and penetrates from the exterior through to the interior spaces. The visual approach to a home will be a different experience depending on the times of the day because the sun is always changing.
