House on the Cliff

Color is both physical and perceptual. We see color, we feel color, and we dream of color. For the color study, I constructed the perspective drawings of the house as graphic compositions with no materiality. The application of primary colors to the drawings transformed the walls, ceiling, and floor into colored planes, which are common elements of concrete painting and pure Euclidean space, as explored by de Stijl and Rietveld through the medium of architecture. Aesthetic pleasure, following on my own judgment, is the final determining intention.Design of a house situated on an Appalachian cliff overlooking a lake 100 feet below. The program is intended to suit a young couple with the desire to escape urban life.
