Working with buildings without building within the structure within the walls
decapitated roof tops, scored and extracted infra-structures 
enphasizing internal structures through extraction,
displacement and alternation
removal at special points of stress
opening spaces to redistribute mass
the ambiguity of place versus object
working with absence
the whole house works to receive an intrusion.
