The underbelly too received an extreme attention to detail, where once again existing site alignments played a vital role in geometry, material differentiation, as well as lighting placement – with the axis leading to the home being accentuated through a lowering of the ceiling. The rain water collection plate, is textually differentiated from the rest of the underbelly of the canopy, by continuing with the materiality of the top onto the lower surface – revealing its alternate purpose. Similar to the canopies the geometry of the elevator core too emerged from adjoining contextual guidelines. The structure, joint lines, and of course the grooves, all find form and purpose though context of the existing facade. The materials and textures chosen for the project are a continuation of the existing palette prevailing within the home – white plastered surfaces, treated random rubble basalt stone walls, ipe wood and glass. Our intervention in addition to incorporating these materials to signify a seamless transition into the old, utilized the rustic yet poetic materiality of weathering steel –a material that eliminates the need for painting, and forms a stable rust like appearance once exposed to the weather. Hence the name, THE ORANGE EXTENSION.
