The Cube

‘The Cube’ is a 10’x10’x10’ mirrored cube. From the house and yard levels below, it’s meant to be a mysterious and changing sculptural object that reflects the landscape, the sky, and the view. Inside the cube, it transforms to a circular drum-shaped space with an oculus to the sky.

The structure of the cube is reinforced fiberglass, which allows for the tapered oculus to come to a knife-edge. It was craned into place in five pieces and then had the exterior and interior finishes applied. The circular seating is precast concrete with integral heat, while the walls are white marker board, and the ceiling is felt. It’s meant as an intimate place for ideation, conversations, and contemplation.
