Todd Ray: Keeping privacy and a wide space spontaneously is possible




"We pulled out three existing bedrooms and a cramped bathroom to make way for one elongated wall-to-wall sweep of space," said architect Todd Ray for the idea of enlarging the house. "At one end we created a generous bedroom area – but wanted sight lines that could appreciate the space as a whole, even with a new bathroom introduced."

Also, Ray also added a centerpiece translucent glass walk-in closet for the private section. "The result is that the closet has a sculptural, floating presence, heightened by the use of glass as the material of choice," Ray emphasized. "This also means an occupant of the closet appears as a shadow play silhouetted on the translucent walls."

"The analogy is like moving from a softer, wooded living area – the bedroom – down to the pure river's edge, or tilework, to bathe." stated the architect, as quoted bysuccessful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials.
