Inspired by the Three Body Problem book series, this music rehearsal space and pool house uses shadow to tell time, including a golden oculus that faces the main home and an oversized sundial in the Zen garden.  Crisp forms highlight playful geometry and a solid-void congruence with the main home and garage gables establishing order on a generous site.  Building systems like solar arrays, air-conditioning, and downspouts are all hidden - a monument to technical advancement and a brave future under the stars.
