This is a house for a photophile (who loves natural light and needs as much as possible during the day) and a cook (who loves to make delicious meals to share with friends at different sized gatherings). They are good friends thus share most of the public spaces on the first floor.
The operative terms of this project are rotating and layering. Private space is layered above public space. The difference in heights defines importance and the size of gatherings in each space. The pinwheel shape is the main circulation and where skylights were introduced.
