About One Line Studio 建築師事務所

One Line Studio 係一座位於美國科羅拉多州丹佛嘅建築師事務所大樓。設計以一條意象化嘅線條連接大地與天空。一端由自然鏽蝕鋼材構成嘅傾斜牆體穩固支撐，而纖薄嘅屋頂邊緣則向遠方嘅山峰逐漸升起。玻璃幕牆之間穿插咗垂直嘅雪松木鰭片，柔化刺眼嘅陽光。木釘層壓木板（Dowel Laminated Timber）既係結構構件，亦係完成面，而深淺交錯嘅板材更提升咗室內嘅聲學效果。原生草種喺座位高度提供私隱，同時將建築物同附近嘅濕地連繫起嚟。

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Forming a figurative ‘line’ between the ground and the sky, a canted, naturally rusted steel wall anchors one end of the structure while a thin roof edge ascends toward the sky beyond, framing an outward looking glazed expanse. The vitrified façade is interrupted by a series of vertical cedar fins that soften glare and appear to climb toward the sky from the native grasses below.
Dimensions & Packaging: The primary structure balances DLT panels, steel, and concrete. Compression clips fasten glazing to steel structure, eliminating redundant framing. DLT panel expansion joints integrate AC diffusers, and adjustable rope light fixtures nestle within the recesses of alternating 2x6 and 2x8 DLT panels. Stair treads are made of Paralam while desks are created from locally sourced, reclaimed wood. A special variance was sought to use native grasses connecting the landscape to the nearby wetlands.

Production Technology: Our team was captivated by the benefits of dowel laminated timber, DLT, for its ability to serve both as a structural component and finished panel system. The modular, prefabricated, factory checked consistency of DLT panels easily tolerate on site adjustments to accommodate construction errors while providing sustainable and biophilic benefits. The panels are a result of a seamless collaboration between One Line Studio and International Timber Frames in Golden, Canada.
Design Challenge: Experiment with innovative construction techniques that showcase a plethora of design possibilities.
Research: Architecture as a figurative line between the ground and the sky, framing a connection to nature
Inspiration: Aspiring towards the mountain peaks, a soaring elevation frames its natural setting composed of wetland vegetation, natural grasses, and woodlands. An interior atmosphere is delineated between a timber wall and a curtain of suspended glass, thinly veiling the threshold between inside and outside.
Project Duration: Location: Denver, Colorado
Start to finish: 7 years, including planning
Operation Flow: The use of alternating depth DLT panel walls adjust and optimize the interior acoustics of the studio. The design endeavors to establish a creative work environment that encourages collaboration while retaining a constant connection to exterior landscape. Main level privacy at seating height is ensured through tall native grasses that open the vistas as one stands up. The Mezzanine level opens up to its surroundings offering direct views of the mountains.
