Latest Work on Curved-Roof Design

One of the challenges I'll be working on next year is a curved roofing system for small sustainable houses. I believe this approach will create a new design vocabulary for architects to build delightful, beautiful, and sustainable small homes.

I'll be taking classes at Yestermorrow and hope to focus a lot of my time and effort on developing this system.

The clay model in the pictures below give a sense of the shape of the houses I'd like to design and build. The triangular grid design is something I've been working on for a long time and next year I may finally be able to scale it up to full size.
