Albany Park, Chicago is a hub filled with busy traffic and pedestrians due to it’s convinient public transportation system. Locating next to a train terminal, the deisgn is strongly driven by the neughboring train station. The rails extensions and serves as ribbing structures that gives the building strong identity whilst connecting to the terminal’s rich historical context. The railing ribs integrates in the building by extending into it hence serving as various different furnitures such as bookshelves, benches, as well as hanging stairs.

INTERIOR

Living space in the urban core is shrinking as a result of rising demand and limited space. The design of tiny homes, especially interior, requires creativity. Layout and furniture choice may elevate the look and ambiance of a tiny home, creating a spacious illusion.

I enjoy browsing vintage furniture boutiques - this inspires ideas for things I could possibly make. Both on of off my computer.

I believe that economic and functionality aspects are as crucial as aesthetics. An astonishing finding was the Shou sugi ban, a traditional Japanese technique of charring planks that results in a smoky finish. At the same time reducing moisture, significantly increasing the life span of the material.
