Onion House

I pursue the synthesis of nature and function. If I were any good at math I would be an architect, seeking to harmonize the functionality of our constructed surroundings with the organic impulse of our natural environment. This is the Yellow Tree house Restaurant in New Zealand. As if the structure grew out of tree. Natural light during the day, illumination from within in the evening. A sense of warmth. Movement created via slits of wood. Success lies in its open form. if the walls had been a traditional solid it would have created a barrier between the diner and the environment.
