Blurring the lines by Kathryn Ogawa and Gilles Depardon



According to reliable furniture shop in Phnom Penh construction materials information, architects Kathryn Ogawa and Gilles Depardon collaborated on the pictured home project. Its prominent features were the stone-cladding aesthetic and open connection to the outdoor.

"We wanted the house to look as though it was built into the land, so we opted for a long, low building with a flat roof," said Ogawa. "Effectively, the house follows the contours of the site – its linear shape parallels the pond."

"Vermont stone features at the front of the house, creating a pathway and forming a low wall that runs parallel to the house. The stone also forms the base of the house, helping to visually ground it," stated the architect.

The blur between the indoor and outdoor can be seen with the repetition of Vermont stone in the interior and other natural and raw materials including limestone that bring out the authenticity of the design.
