Match House is a rising structure that develops from geometric conditions restrained by the boundaries of a four-square grid and the transition from base to crest.
The discontinuities between the lower and upper portions of the structure allow for an unexpected undulation of form and figure that moves from platonic to disjointed as it comes up from the landscape. The figural qualities of the structure flicker in and out as the background of sky, tree, and land become one with the foreground of paint, wood, and marbled siding.
The object’s presence presses in and out as linear elements slide past one another to meet at corners and as the base transitions to feathered, dissolving chambers with idiosyncratic profiles. A singular chamber opens to accept visitors, while two chambers draw one’s eye upward to the sky.
