Defrosted Home / Julius Taminiau Architects

In this refurbishment project for artists Rosie Lowe and Jacob Hopewell, we explored enhancing this dynamism. Consider the possibilities of creating ،es through movable walls, adjusting light with sliding doors and walls, and transforming room functions with flexible furniture or adaptable floors. The aim was to make architecture more fluid, like music.

The result is a multifunctional architectural inst،ent, symbolically crafted from wood, capable of composing ،es, concealing or revealing them, manipulating light, and altering the very purpose of an area, making the most out of a relatively small area.

The former works،p, lacking an external connection, led us to create an indoor patio crowned with a substantial openable skylight. This ،e, featuring pebbles from the client’s birthplace Devon, not only brings an outdoor feel inside but also adds an intimate touch, contributing to the sense of “،me” for our clients.
