Hamilton Residence
Columbus, Ohio

Brian Pickard, 2003

Directed by a desire to question the role of public and private divisions within a single family unit, here, the use of sliding panels allow the inner walls to disappear into the solidity of the concrete, revealing the private spaces to the public inner core of the structure. As these walls are removed, the dimensional equality of space may be felt as the ambiguity of boundary becomes more apparent.

These features, coupled with the unique structure and style of the family, allow the residence to function both as a typical family home and as an open entertaining space.
