To frame is to celebrate. Frame House is a play structure designed for everyday living, where children and adults can live and play freely. This is a small house with dignity and presence, using multiple modes of framing to achieve a presence far beyond its modest size. Walls are designed to take a beating; suspended netting can be lounged in or traversed from room-to-room; and kinetic elements transform spaces to frame different levels of openness and privacy. With design ingenuity like this, the Frame house is a demonstration of how rich opportunities for family living can be achieved within a simple construction on a small lot. The luxury of wasted space is one few Vancouverites with young children can afford, and this house delivers, through a clever framing of family living.
