JAC 140 - Twilight in Space by Jon Allen The Jon Allen Collection is an exclusive, hand-selected group of my most personal work to date. Each piece is hand-painted on aluminum. My art itself and my chosen medium, aluminum, are blissfully married. You may not think of the word organic when you hear the word metal, but this is some of my most organic art and that’s simply because metal allows my work to achieve true sentience. Aluminum’s naturally reflective nature enables each color, shape, and stroke to reach its full potential. A new aspect of the painting will reveal itself to you as it basks in the light that surrounds, evades, or envelops it in that moment. When you see the piece from different angles, you will appreciate how vibrant, dynamic, and environmentally influenced these pieces are. What you may see and feel by morning is not what you’ll see or feel by dusk and in many ways, and as such I feel these pieces capture the ever-ebbing and complex nature of human emotion and perception. Some of these pieces are truly abstract while others are modern takes on traditional landscapes, marine life, and portraits. I hope you enjoy them a fraction of how much I enjoyed creating them. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Number of Pieces: 1 Dimensions: 46" x 13" x 2" off the wall Care & Cleaning: Clean with a soft cloth and plain soap & water Other Features: Hardware is pre-installed for simple hanging and art will “float” 2” off the wall

This project was installed after the tile was in with my patented inlay process. This is the best way to fix or remodel an older tiled pool as the tile that I remove is used in sheet form to repair to damaged areas. Anything is possible!

M Residence (Residential Project) Constructed 1999 Location :Chandigarh A House Shaped by Frugal Engineering and Expansive Imagination I had designed his factory years earlier — and he must have been pleased with the outcome. A 6,000 sq. ft. multi-storied factory conceived for an entirely new product line, marking a decisive shift from decades of manufacturing a declining product. A careful analysis of the production dynamics led to a vertical organization of spaces, with multiple floor plates interconnected through the sequence of manufacturing operations. The heavy-duty work was concentrated in the basement, where storage for steel and brass raw materials and components was planned. Remarkably, the entire structure stood on just ten columns, each with a mere 30 cm square cross-section — a fact that still gives one nightmares. At the time, it was also the tallest structure in the area. That same philosophy of frugal engineering later became the guiding principle for an addition to the family residence, more than a decade afterward. A narrow strip only 22 feet wide and less than 50 feet deep had to accommodate an entirely new home for a growing family moving steadily upward in life. The response was straightforward — a similarly efficient column-frame structure designed to extract the maximum usable space from the compact 22' × 50' site. We began with a semi-basement, using battered retaining walls integrated with the structural columns to counter the thrust from the existing foundations along the length of the original house. A courtyard was introduced to preserve light and ventilation for the older structure, while also providing access to an elevator for a disabled family member. This naturally required ramps and seamless wheelchair mobility throughout. Maintaining connectivity with the old house was equally essential. The result was a split-level home with interconnected vertical spaces spanning all three floors, linked by shallow, comfortable steps that made movement easy for everyone. The extension evolved into a house of remarkable generosity — with five bedrooms, study rooms, dens, stores, walk-in closets, box rooms, drawing and dining spaces, lounges, enclosed verandahs, a games room, jacuzzis, decks and balconies, servant quarters, waterfalls, rainwater harvesting systems, SPV installations, solar chimney-assisted ventilation, and nearly every innovation one could imagine at the turn of the millennium. We were also experimenting with what were then cutting-edge materials and technologies: 2' × 2' vitrified tiles brought all the way from Bombay, CFL lighting long before LEDs arrived, copper and composite aluminium plumbing, and solar water heating. Insulated glazing, integrated Venetian blinds, security systems, and emergency low-voltage lighting were all incorporated with enthusiasm. Wooden flooring in toilets and insulated foam concrete walls were considered radical ideas at the time. Architecture students frequently visited the house for field studies. The owners’ young son would often dive into the pool before even entering the house, while the little daughter happily inhabited her own magical corner of it. And for the architect — there was always a wonderful cup of coffee waiting on every visit. Needless to say, there still is.
