Abstract
Using a Morandi still life painting of wine bottles and a Clarinet as the basis of my investigation I sought to integrate the primary qualities of both these elements and design a 400 sq. foot dwelling that would harmonize with other found objects in the site. Using colors found in the still life and in the site as the colors of the materials, brick and concrete.
