TERRACOTA

​

Eric & Wendy had been living for years in PobleSec and they feel very attached to the neighborhood and the city.

They moved into a ground-floor apartment with a back patio, ideal for their home, a ceramic workshop, and a store.

Some years after, they had the chance to buy their neighbor’s warehouse and expand their living space, their studio, and their beautiful workshop store www.tallergingell.com   

The main idea was to open the new warehouse to their existing patio, transforming the dark space into a bright, inviting area. This expansion would create a larger, more luminous workspace, freeing up the original area to extend their living space.

Materials would spin around ceramic and wood; not only to continue the esthetic of the existing space but overall to work with materials that E&W would to comfortable and happy to build with and contribute as much as possible in the construction process.

This focus on materiality was central to the project.
