This project involved the addition of an entry space to a period modern house.  The new entry piece was to be a tall space constructed in steel and glass.  

Perspective View of Entry Pavilion

The entry space was to be contrary to the horizontality of the original house.  In essence the entry served as a transition from the roofless exterior to the compressive horizontality of the interior.

The dynamic shape of the entry was a result of the micro context.  To one side was a 1970's addition which became the primary wall in the entry.  To the other side was a series of existing windows that overlooked a small garden.  By angling the addition the garden was preserved and became a feature in the entry.
