Nonporous DuPont™ Corian® is a high-performing, easy-to-maintain solid surfacing material that can be fabricated into a virtually seamless surface. It can be thermoformed into custom shapes and contours, sandblasted, routed, carved, laser-etched and backlit. It can be straight and rigid or voluptuous and supple making it ideal for a wide range of applications.

The abstracted “heavens” above connect visitors to the application vignettes within the studio. This large-scale interactive lighting feature provides an animated array of luminous color that gently maps the visitor's movement across the space suggesting new and innovative uses of Corian®.

The house was organized on its site as three independent volumes (Main, guest house and garage) enclosing a swimming pool and a courtyard, conceived as a buoyant mass and inspired by historic Japanese residential structures in Kyoto and Kanazawa, the skin is finished in bleached vertical battens and clapboard siding merge with stainless steel roofing to form a unified textured appearance between the walls and the roof.

The biased cut of the main house's pitched roof and its protruding corners underscore primary views of the landscape and ocean.  YN-13 House, image courtesy of Morris Sato Studio Conceived as a buoyant mass and inspired by historic Japanese residential structures in Kyoto and Kanazawa, the house's bleached cedar vertical battens and clapboard siding merge with the standing seams of the terne-coated stainless steel roofing to visually unify the wall and roof surfaces that, over the course of a day, lends the house an aura of both permanence and temporality.  YN-13 House, image courtesy of Morris Sato Studio On the interior, the open, loft-like first level allows for an uninterrupted diagonal flow of space, and the expansive glazing at the corners connect indoor and outdoor activities.

A large interior void joins the first and second floors with light and air and serves as a spatial counterpoint to the masonry chimney tower on the exterior.
