Playtime
International Competition | Collaboration with Ryan Henirksen
The aim was to try and highlight the capacity of paint to augment our understanding of underlying architectural elements and generate hybridized conditions that exist as neither paint nor surface. Sharp and directional qualities inherent within our initial paint swatches now become embedded within the Victorian facade.
Architecture and Paint.
Through the model we began to experiment with the application of paint as an architectural element and how such geometries could enhance the spatial characteristics of each space.

Paint acts as playfully as the program for which the building serves; embedding within itself a sense of theatricality shared with the architectural brief.
At times, these applied brushes envelop underlying objects and become physicalized within spaces of the building. At other points, paint delineates threshold and begins to blur the reading of the underlying architectural language.
