“The homogeneity of the houses nearby made me want to push the design to be as joyful and surprising as possible. I wanted to use simple shapes – triangles, circles and squares – and make a structure that calls to mind a child’s building blocks, to tap into those joyful childhood memories of play, and put a smile on the face of anyone experiencing the building.
