Skylights are like horns of light. More important than the size of the skylight glass is the shape and size of the first place where the light enters the space and then bounces around. The light then ejects into a living space, say, like a fluid. This first area, when painted white, allows the most reflection and travel to the space it serves.

Lake Travis Project — reimagining the outdoor space as an aviary and adding a lookout balcony or “tongue”. We are working to create an outdoor living opportunity matching the quality of the existing house and the drama of the view to the West across the lake.

Meadowlakes Project ca.2002, Now re-envisioned with new color, 2022.
With paint we obscure and recast weaknesses and flaws in our original design. An exercise influenced by WWI-era Razzle Dazzle Camouflage.

Meadowlakes Project — our client allowed us to re-envision this house — which we completed for her now 20 years ago — with new color.
Our original design was flawed with unnecessary and unresolved complexity. We painted away parts of the original design, even obscuring its presence as a house, seeing it more as an exercise in Razzle Dazzle Camouflage , the pre-WWI practice of painting vulnerable merchant ships in bold , confusing, and scale-less color schemes to avoid recognition by German Submarines and their torpedoes.
Originally the house’s colors were like a female bird’s, trying to blend herself into the landscape. Now the house is a more cheerful assemblage of colorful shapes, shapes which contradict the original parti of the design, but also obscure and recast weaknesses and flaws in the original design.
