"The structure contorts into an L-shape, folding around the pre-existing trees to maintain the yard's existing character. The form then becomes a kind of frame, a viewing pavilion, taking direct reference from the Ryoan-ji Rock Garden in Kyoto."
"Cedar shingles tie it back to the original home, keeping the new structure from announcing itself too loudly against the surrounding hills. Sliding glass doors, cheerfully framed in yellow powder-coated aluminum, open one side of the building entirely to the outdoors."
"The Pilates side is warm and spare, finished in wood that flows through to a bathroom lined in plaster, a softer material that adds texture without breaking the natural language of the space."
Two-Fold Studio, designed by ONO, is an 800-square-foot pavilion in Fairfax, California, serving as a Pilates studio, ceramics workshop, and guesthouse. The structure is L-shaped, integrating with existing trees to preserve the yard's character. Cedar shingles and yellow powder-coated aluminum sliding doors create a modest yet vibrant exterior. Inside, the Pilates area features warm wood finishes, while the ceramics side maintains a cohesive design with plaster accents, enhancing the overall aesthetic without disrupting the natural flow of the space.
