<<Tunable House>>
Year: 2012
Location: World's End, MA
Critic: Andrew Scott
This project is conceived to be a live/work scenario for
a sound engineer, spouse and guests. It is defined in
terms of sound and light and introduces a tunability,
not via the thermal and light comfort in a typical
house, but from an acoustic perspective by using a
variable interior skin to manipulate acoustics and
light simultaneously. Spatially, the house is layed out
in a hierarchy of public and private, loud and soft. The
studio, living, and kitchen space are at the core and the
more private, quiet spaces branch off from the central
axis and wrap into bedroom and bathroom spaces,
essentially providing a sound ‘generator’ and a sound
‘receiver’.
