Night Blooming started as an extension project of Light Hole Shed + Fence. More attention was given to the light quality inside of the space. To create a gradual transition of light, a circular plan was selected. When curved walls are built from square cut timber, wedge-shaped voids determined by the light study appear where the boards meet. An altered crib construction method was applied to construct a catenary dome, 10’ in diameter by 13’ 6” high. Daggers of light split the dark space within, rising to the apex in a tightening spiral. The patterns of voids provide sufficient light to experience the subtle changes of light and shadow.
