ATattic is a project of an attic, used as a construction sample of Motherhouse, and conceived as a spatial-material prototype based on a matrix that holds partitions, structural, and skin systems in a layered variation. The project works as an extension of a studio apartment (a home office) on its terrace, and is organized as a cascade of tiny terraces, whose support, developed as a variation of steel-framing technology, is an apparently aleatory distribution of accessible and inaccessible patios, niches, and storage spaces. Its diagram absorbs these in a single serpentine-like envelope that coordinates thickenings, rhythms, and singularities.
