Ueda House

@ University of Washington

2017

A medium-scale project inspired by the surrealist composition and subdued dynamism of Shoji Ueda’s photography. This live/work project interweaves a gallery, a studio, and a residence mediating changes in site topography. Layering opaque, translucent, and transparent elements, this dwelling of quiet backdrops always puts the human user in focus.

Ueda House is part of a group of 5 live-work projects sharing a parcel. Pedestrian courtyards mediate grade change from one end of the site to the other and flow around the individual buildings. Ueda House is on the far right of the view.
