Coastal Monolith
Tectonic Detail
Material honesty and structural thermal breaks
The primary mass is poured in board-formed basalt concrete, utilizing a dense mineral aggregate that absorbs maritime moisture while maintaining thermal equilibrium. Continuous fluted glass partitions modulate interior wind shelter without breaking horizontal views across the site context.
Shadow analysis dictates every exterior junction. Without mechanical heating interventions, the thermal mass stabilizes interior volumes across seasonal extremes, treating daylight as the primary building material.
