Worrell and Yeung revitalized an awkward barn by applying black asphalt sheets, creating a striking abstract appearance. A new double-height dormer inside accommodates diverse artistic works, reflecting the architects' vision for flexible, evolving spatial delineation. They paid meticulous attention to materials, desiring purity in the staircase design, even expanding its footprint to eliminate standard overhangs. As self-described purists, Worrell and Yeung aim to balance precision with roughness in their architectural philosophy, enhancing the experience and functionality of the artistic space for its users.
We thought about how artists who work in very different mediums share space, but they shied away from that. They wanted the delineation to be more flexible, to morph over time.
A hallmark of our design language is inserting the precise within the rough.
