Assembly House is designed as a residential village knit together by garden spaces and pathways. Rather than a house with a garden around it, this is a garden with a collection of pavilions placed within it. Each piece takes advantage of views, creates privacy, and defines exterior garden spaces. The architecture of each building is designed to express individual elements, clarifying and celebrating the whole. Sliding walls and intimate scales open each structure to the surrounding garden, guiding movement sequentially through courtyards, pavilions, and toward the ocean.
