Torus House(Unbuilt), Old Chatham, New York 1998-2000
“In Torus, House designed for landscape painter, the orthogonal features of the building-floor,walls and ceiling are connected to each other by curvilinear form that alludes to the torus, a donut shape generated in by revolving a circle along a coplanar axis. Thus, the orthogonal features seem part of a single underlating surface, and the interior of the house effects continuity with the surrounding hills.”
