Thaw House/Julius Taminiau Architects
Text description provided by the architect. Architecture has been likened to, in Goethe’s words, “frozen music,” a concept that didn’t resonate with me. To me, architecture is not a static entity; It is dynamic and constantly evolving. Upon entering the building, one begins a journey through a space of ever-changing light and shadow. Even buildings can be moved by opening doors or windows.
In this renovation project for artists Rosie Lowe and Jacob Hopewell, we explored ways to enhance this energy. Consider the possibility of creating space through moveable walls, modulating light through sliding doors and walls, and changing the functionality of a room through flexible furniture or adaptive flooring. The aim is to make architecture flow more like music.
The result is a versatile architectural tool, figuratively made of wood, able to frame space, hide or reveal it, manipulate light, change the purpose of an area and thus make the most of a relatively small area.
The previous workshop lacked external connections, so we created an interior terrace with an operable skylight on top. The space uses pebbles from the client’s birthplace of Devon, which not only brings an outdoor feel to the interior, but also adds an intimate touch and creates a “home” feel for our client.
