This is being in one's element.

I began to peel away the things that were unessential, and what remained was a home of utmost harmony and efficiency permeated by the elements of my own history and identity. What I had created was a home rich in emotional nourishment. The approach of Pattern House was to take this personal experience of creating my own home and forge it into a methodology for residential design. The essence of the approach coalesced from three ideas about home: Deep roots. There's no place like home. It's where we live, work and dream. It's our sanctuary, our refuge, the repository of our history and hopes, and our cushion against the world. Embedded history. Objects and keepsakes are often markers of who we are and who we want to be. These collected memories and experiences allow reflection on the past and elicit growth. The Elements. By recognizing the interdependence of site, light and earth and its effect on us both spiritually and emotionally, we can utilize and lever these connections to shape spaces in a deeper way. Instead of creating a container to which people must adapt, Pattern House is an attempt to design from the inside out and allow our emotional weight to shape the spaces we occupy and imbue them with a markedly new level of vitality. Through an in-depth examination of everyday patterns and habits, moments of heightened significance were captured and recorded to be reproduced in the design of a new home. The beautiful in the everyday is what can make a home vital. In the methodology of Pattern House, we have home embedded in our mind, and our hearts embedded in our home. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/exterior.jpg" width="630" height="420" width_o="630" height_o="420" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/exterior_o.jpg" data-mid="9305327" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/EXTERIOR 2 PHOTOSHOP.jpg" width="630" height="420" width_o="630" height_o="420" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/EXTERIOR 2 PHOTOSHOP_o.jpg" data-mid="9300812" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/interior_kitchen.jpg" width="630" height="420" width_o="630" height_o="420" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/interior_kitchen_o.jpg" data-mid="9305415" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/interior_living.jpg" width="630" height="420" width_o="630" height_o="420" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/interior_living_o.jpg" data-mid="9305416" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/interior_lounge.jpg" width="630" height="420" width_o="630" height_o="420" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/interior_lounge_o.jpg" data-mid="9305420" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/interior_outsideroom.jpg" width="640" height="427" width_o="640" height_o="427" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/interior_outsideroom_o.jpg" data-mid="9305422" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/interior_bedroom from po.jpg" width="630" height="420" width_o="630" height_o="420" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/93469/1880272/interior_bedroom from po_o.jpg" data-mid="9305423" border="0" align="left"/> In 2009 I put my life on a diet of simplicity.

By unraveling the story of this traditional garment and its construction, one is able to explore the meaning of its exquisite design and the relationship it has to its diverse historical contexts. The craftsmanship and detail of the garments communicate and translate the voice and culture of the Japanese people. Whether it was war, a change in emperors or seasons, an influx of international trade, or the heavy influence of the West, the Kimono creatively expresses these changes through each design detail from its floral pattern down to its hem. KIMONO: culture and construction is an exhibition design project examining the artistic contributions that, stitch by stitch, make up the kimono and a study of the cultural events that have helped shape its many variations. The exhibition pavilion was inspired by studies of the intricate folding and sewing techniques used in kimono making. The form of the pavilion itself was generated to follow the same proportions and layout of the sewing pattern used to make a traditional kimono, folded upon itself. With the use of subtle twists and folds, the structure echoes the graceful flow of a kimono in movement. In the folds of a kimono is the layered story of Japan.

Using environmentally responsible materials, innovative fashion design sense, and full life cycle planning, the fashion concept represented by Fold resists the traditional mindset of fashion trends and their cycle of consumption and disposal. Featuring multiple levels of protection, Fold is an outergarment designed with a wide range of conditions in mind. Its lightweight cotton construction is at face value better suited for warmer conditions, but as the weather cools or becomes wet, the collar can release into a protective water resistant layer and a hood is available through the expansion of the rear element.
