EDGE HOUSE:


EDGE HOUSE IS AN EXERCISE EXPLORING THE OPPORTUNITY WITH RUIN.
THE STRUCTURE ITSELF WAS A CONDEMNED BUILDING PURCHASED BY  STUDIO SHOWIES IN 2022 AND SLATED TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION IN THE SPRING OF 2024.

THE IDEA IS TO USE OUR TEAMS BOOT-STAPPING, PURSUIT OF FUN, AND DIY GUMPTION TO USE MATERIALS AT HAND TO REIMAGE RUIN INTO A FUNCTIONAL BATHHOUSE/ FORT. INSTEAD OF LEANING ON A TRADITIONAL ‘TOP-DOWN’ DESIGN PROCESS THAT WOULD DEFINE PROGRAMATIC SPACE; WE ARE INTERESTED IN CREATING SPACE THAT COULD DEFINE ITSELF.


  THE MOTTO IS ‘SOMEWHERE BETWEEN CALVIN AND HOBBS, AND THOMAS HOBBS’.
