This small holiday home displays the well-honed skills of a practice that completely understands how to create simple yet excellent spatial experiences. Interior space is reduced to allow outdoor spaces to provide balance and alternative experiences. Glazing lines are set away from external skins, creating shadows under an apparently eave-less form, and giving the appearance of a continuously open structure. This expertly crafted pavilion references American West Coast houses of the 1960s with its crazy paving, compact planning and circular steel columns; at the same time, it is a distinctly contemporary addition to Herbst Architects’ body of work.
