House of Monitors / Williamson Williamson
The House of Monitors is a home that captures and choreographs light while highlighting the materials of production. Developed in close collaboration with the owners, the Resident Scenic Artist for the National Ballet of Canada and a shoring engineer with expertise in complex ground conditions, the project designed opportunities to engage materials through framed views, sectional cuts and layered spatial connections that support understanding of the building's construction. Carving light through the structure is not only a daylighting strategy but a way to intertwine interior and exterior, revealing the house as a calibrated sequence of volumes, textures and luminous atmospheres.
