Bone House

The Bone House project began in 2004 as an experiment in relating associative geometry to environmental factors. The house is organized around a network scaffolding of nodes and subnodes which was then tested against airflow simulations for the notional site, feeding back into geometry response and programmatic realocations.

The bones are part of the subsequent structural deconstruction of the house, leading to a system of five bone elements that interlock to create the geometry. These are currently being tested through rapid prototyping and structural analysis.



About

Offshorestudio is an architecture and design practice. We believe in research, experimentation and the role of architecture that questions our built environment.

Established in San Francisco in 2005 Offshorestudio relocated to Sydney in 2007. Our projects include installations at international institutions such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, to projects in South Africa, San Francisco and Sydney. We work strategically encompassing scales from micro to urban. We design for an urbanism that is ubiquitous, free of nostalgia.

Our research involves the use of computational techniques and technologies to explore new possibilities for architecture, which we continually test with our students at the University of Technology Sydney and practice in our studio.

Our clients understand the value of design. We practice architecture in an expanded field. We enjoy what we do.
