Like its namesake, the design traces the main concepts of accessibility, specificity, and multiplicity through weaving pockets of shared space through a semi-translucent, latticed second skin. Without impeding the visual density of the sloped site, a commercial space is offered below to experience the landscape along with accentuating the length of the structure while maintaining the presence of the neighborhood. Provided its mixed-use multigenerational typology, the Vellum house will not only foster individual realized spaces between the residents but will simultaneously create a unified visual and experiential condensation with the surrounding community.
