Relic Rock

Architect: DCHGlobal Inc.
2012 Recipient | AIA Housing Awards

Relic Rock is designed with a simple, flexible, sustainable prototype building system that is adaptable to a broad range of different climates and terrains. This prototype architectural solution sits lightly on the land, with cantilevered floors that minimize site disruption. A distinctive connection to nature is achieved by dissolving the division of interior and exterior space.

Jury Comments:

This is just fabulous.

They made shade in an artful way. The playfulness of the colors on the inside ceiling was so fun within the scheme.

This fits well into its site. The way the light plays with the metal is great.
