The project was a close collaboration between Platform 5 Architects, Morph Structures and the contractor Millimetre.
The finished design is a fully glazed office, which nestles into an extruded American white oak elliptical shell that unfurls to form a small terrace in the lawn. The interior is also lined with American white oak and fitted with a cantilevered desk and storage. The structure is naturally lit by two skylights – one glazed above the desk and another open to the sky outside the office attracting light into the work space.
