One Line Studio
Architectural Office for One Line Studio
Reaching skyward toward the peaks beyond, a thin roof edge rises from an oxidized steel mass anchoring the building while outlining a curtain of glass below. Vertical timber fins based upon the Fibonacci sequence echo the slender blades of surrounding native grasses, grounding the translucent façade into the terrain. Defying the urban context of nearby monolithic structures, the graceful, slender building is nestled within a sliver of flora having taken its cue from the natural setting by reframing a connection to the landscape.

Unique Properties
Forming a figurative ‘line’ between the ground and the sky, a canted, naturally rusted steel wall anchors one end of the structure while a thin roof edge ascends toward the sky beyond, framing an outward looking glazed expanse. The vitrified façade is interrupted by a series of vertical cedar fins that soften glare and appear to climb toward the sky from the native grasses below.

Production Technology
Our team was captivated by the benefits of dowel laminated timber, DLT, for its ability to serve both as a structural component and finished panel system. The modular, prefabricated, factory checked consistency of DLT panels easily tolerate on site adjustments to accommodate construction errors while providing sustainable and biophilic benefits. The panels are a result of a seamless collaboration between One Line Studio and International Timber Frames in Golden, Canada.
Design Challenge
Experiment with innovative construction techniques that showcase a plethora of design possibilities.
Project Duration
Location: Denver, Colorado Start to finish: 7 years, including planning
Operation Flow
The use of alternating depth DLT panel walls adjust and optimize the interior acoustics of the studio. The design endeavors to establish a creative work environment that encourages collaboration while retaining a constant connection to exterior landscape. Main level privacy at seating height is ensured through tall native grasses that open the vistas as one stands up. The Mezzanine level opens up to its surroundings offering direct views of the mountains.

Architecture as a figurative line between the ground and the sky, framing a connection to nature
Inspiration
Aspiring towards the mountain peaks, a soaring elevation frames its natural setting composed of wetland vegetation, natural grasses, and woodlands. An interior atmosphere is delineated between a timber wall and a curtain of suspended glass, thinly veiling the threshold between inside and outside.
