House
for
a
Collector
Coordinated
by
Fiona
Lim
Tung
The
house
for
a
collector
is
a
hybrid
type
that
blurs
the
boundaries
between
house,
museum,
and
archive.
As
a
building,
this
small
but
complex
collection
of
spaces
must
participate
in
the
concern
for
the
thoughtful
and
inventive
accommodation
and
augmentation
of
the
collection,
while
still
addressing
notions
of
home.
Located in Cambridge, Ontario along the Riverbluffs Park, this live-work residence separates a public gallery and a personal living space with an elevated living room. All leisure spaces within the house are raised, while the work and service programs ground the building on this sloped site. Views are strategically punched or framed to maximise the atmosphere of the surrounding forest and to remain hidden from the public eye. This house attempts to preserve private living spaces in the park while negotiating a boundary to a public workspace.
