Technology and workmanship come together in this refreshingly creative design for two student lounges at the Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning.

View of the East Lounge from the corridor.

The diagram also changed the lounges' relationships to their surroundings and created variations in the interior character and programmatic emphasis.

The East Lounge is a more concealed space since it has less exposure to the main corridor than the West Lounge.

The result is that the East Lounge is used for small group and individual activities while the West Lounge is used for larger meetings and social events.

Sunlight is modulated through holes of varying depths milled into the stained plywood.

This strategy was extended into a diagram which could generate the character of surface, pattern, and light.

The lounges are located along a south facing wall retrofitted with interior plywood sunshades.

These screens were incorporated into the surface with their shades modulating sunlight through holes of varying depths milled into the stained plywood resulting in an indeterminate geometry.

A repeatable non-uniform use of patterning which could regulate form, material, and light is seen in the surface. This geometry enabled efficient replication of standardized and non-standardized construction elements.
