| Moving
through the house is like taking a trip through the life of the insect.
The planted area leading to the main entrance is designed to encourage butterflies
to lay eggs and caterpillar development. A steel-ribbed walkway wraps around
visitors, like a chrysalis.The organic imagery of the stairs evokes the
unfurling of new wings. Handrails of entwined rod and cables extend like legs and antennae. Above the bright conservatory space, coloured fabric canopies flutter like wings drying. The terrace is shaded by fluttering wing-like fabric canopies, layered according to shape, colour and opacity |
