Transformer Patio
24 November 2008
You are probably already aware that I'm really interested in multi-purpose design... so in some ways, this project is really appealing to me. There are a lot of elements that I really like... the dense, well organized use of space, compartmentalization of program, and simple, clean materials. And yet I just can't seem to bring myself to love this project. Certainly, I like it, but I can't quite love it. The small vignette photos are really lovely, but the overall image is exactly how I imagine the patio is in real life - overly crowded. Sometimes, you can cram too much program into one space. Still, this transformative patio by Pique is a great example of tactile/movable architecture - as much space as object..

I don't like it because of the way it imposes on the neighboring house. There's no sense of privacy. A structure like this shouldn't have a neighbor so close that you could touch their house through the trees. Those lights would drive me crazy.
