Experimental Residential Buildings

Eric Owen Moss Architects Designs the A+M House

— August 10, 2022 — Art & Design
Eric Owen Moss and his two teenage children collaborated on an experimental residential building in Los Angeles. Titled the A+M House, the structure spans three floors and it "changes shape as it rises." This is a foray into architecture that challenges the notion of reshaping how we use space. While at the highest level, the building takes the form of a rectangle yet at the bottom, it boasts a more curvilinear shape. Eric Owen Moss and his studio define this effect as "kinetic."

The experimental residential building also features an industrial-strength rubber coating. The facade walls were designed using a "direct-to-construction" Rhino 3D model. The exterior is punctured by differently sized and shaped windows—even windows that occupy corners of the house, as well. These are covered in a waterproofing material.
