Guesthouse

7 November 2012

Three years after finishing the Tsai Residence, the home of two art collectors in New York State, a couple of hours’ drive from Manhattan, HHF Architects and Ai Weiwei have designed an annex for guests. The new building, which comprises a bedroom, a studio, a gallery and attached bathroom and kitchenette, has a wooden structure clad in panels of rusty metal, which over time will oxidize further and blend into the surrounding woods. The Y-shaped plan simplifies the distribution and offers a different view from each room, making the panorama an integral part of the design. Lucky guests. (via ArchDaily)

She sits astride Italy, Belgium and Southeast Asia, and sometimes falls off. When asked what she does, she replies: I do things, see people. She has been writing about furniture for twenty years and is still not tired of it, in spite of everything. She has no free time, and is not even interested in it. For her it’s enough not to have to go to the same office everyday. She mixes with unlikely people, and contributes to Klat for this very reason.
