FROM THE DESIGNER:“ There’ s a story to these materials. Patina is not a surface; rather a composition of time in which the narrative is literal, figurative and abstract simultaneously. The same can be said about space and its use. [ The bridge connecting the second floor to the addition ] is a double-height hallway space. Leaving the shingles and windows on the old house, the exterior of the old remains, and there’ s a sense of loft as you move up that. There’ s a bit of confusion as to where outside and inside are, and I think that’ s very akin to a treehouse. There’ s a preciousness that can be defaced, and it will still hold its value. I think that was important to the homeowners because they wanted their kids to feel free to stomp around in this beautiful home.” from [ in ] form’ s work is born from multiple voices and backgrounds. The design-build studio’ s core belief is that there is a symbiotic relationship between life and the practice of constructing space. Clients collaborate with the same group of individuals in the design process and construction, as the team stands by the collaborative work done together with their clients. At the beginning of every project, from [ in ] form assembles an in-house team of builders and designers, plus specialized consultants when needed, which expands their office, fabrication shop and on-site construction crews. These alliances promote responsible design thinking by incorporating all of the studio’ s resources, eliminating redundancies and streamlining the design-build process.
