The client loved the existing timber veneer wall and it was important that it be retained. Removing two walls opened up the space and the veneer wall is now a lovely feature backdrop to the dining area.
Wood & Locks
Our client, a life coach and meditation practitioner, came to Wood & Locks with a request: to transform the forgotten vintage Play Mor trailer into a back yard home office and meditation space. Working within the client's functional requests, we designed a space where nostalgia meets modern tranquility.
Breathing new life into this more shabby-than-chic vintage gem, thoughtful design choices went into creating a space that seamlessly bridges the gap between a home office for one and a multi-person meditation alcove.
The trailer was carefully stripped down to its bare essentials. This involved removing the interior fittings, appliances, and any elements that were no longer usable or not aligned with the new design concept. Structural repairs were a critical part of the process. Any rust or damage to the frame was addressed, ensuring the trailer's integrity. This step was essential to make the trailer both safe and sturdy for its new purpose. The interior design was a fusion of vintage charm and modern functionality — reclaimed wood was used to create warm, rustic accents, and the layout was optimized for the new functions of a multi-purpose space. The interior was insulated for climate control, and new electrical and lighting systems were installed for practicality and ambiance. The color palette and decor choices were designed to create a calming and meditative atmosphere. Soft, soothing colors, such as blues and greens, were used to foster a sense of tranquility. The choice of furnishings, including modular office furniture and sleeping quarters, were curated for both comfort and style.
The restoration process was a careful blend of preserving the trailer's vintage charm and adapting it to a modern purpose. The result was a unique, inviting, and functional backyard office and meditation destination that celebrated the best of both worlds – the past and the present.
PAUL CREMOUX studio
A visual artist and his fiancée’s house and studio were designed with various themes in mind, such as the physical context, client needs, security, and a limited budget.
Six options were analyzed during the schematic design stage to control the wind from the northeast, sunlight, light quality, cost, energy, and specific operating expenses. By using design performance tools and technologies such as Fluid Dynamics, Energy Consumption Analysis, Material Life Cycle Assessment, and Climate Analysis, sustainable strategies were identified. The building is self-sufficient and will provide the site with an aquifer recharge that does not currently exist.
The main masses are distributed around a courtyard, creating a moderately open construction towards the interior and closed to the outside. The courtyard contains a Huizache tree, surrounded by a water mirror that refreshes and forms a central part of the courtyard.
The house comprises three main volumes, each oriented at different angles to highlight different views for each area. The patio is the primary circulation stratagem, providing a refuge from the wind, a connection to the sky, and a night sky observatory. We aim to establish a deep relationship with the site by including the open space of the patio.
