A cozy hand made dining room. Abstracting the landscape and indigenous architecture of the southwest with an inverted exposed kitchen featuring a wood burningovens and grill
JMA inverted a traditional kitchen plan to present the
flames of the wood burning grill to the dining room.
The design abstracts the indigenous architecture
of the southwest and the landscape which yielded building
materials and sustenance.
An undulating frame,
the branching of the trunk forming a beam saddle;
their forms baked and illuminated by the kitchen wood fire
The architectural frame abstracting into forest forms, textures;
Twig railings, twig lamps, twig chairs and stanchions,
forest debris in copper relief sculpture and an autumnal floor
Plaster framing sculpted by hand, digitized and prefabricated off site.
