Glimpse is a private duplex project, designed for a dancer and a philosopher. The project explores the idea of an other, in the audience at hand in performance, and the explorations of society in philosophy. Moments of thin transparency and light provide connections between the two occupants, creating an innate relationship. Spaces reflect the needs of the occupants, promoting speculation and contemplation. Different levels and heights of walls create different relationships between spaces, challenging the built relationship and offering areas of exploration. Solid walls create moments of barrier while pieces of transparent glass make for moments of small exposure and visual connection.

The duplex’s program spirals around the central core, swirling the occupancy around the center to a shared rooftop - promoting interaction between the two occupants

The exterior concrete shell creates thin lines of light that relate to the interior condition, creating a monolithic appearing condition.

The central core creates apertures into the split interior courtyard, channeling light into spaces

Floor plates extend out to support partition walls of thin pieces of concrete, along with opaque and transparent glass

Glimpse utilizes a branching concrete system, combined with a central core
