01 / MATERIAL

DARK BY NATURE. PRECISE BY DESIGN.

A tactile mineral skin wraps a lightweight structural core. Every face catches light differently; every joint stays deliberately visible.

02 / SYSTEM

ONE COMPONENT. NO FIXED FORM.

The same unit becomes enclosure, span or core. Select a role to isolate it within the structure.

03 / STRUCTURES

BUILT ANYWHERE.

04 / PRINCIPLES

ASSEMBLE. INHABIT. RETURN.

A building should not become waste when its first purpose ends. Obsidian is conceived as a kit of recoverable parts, documented from first assembly to next use.

The frame turns its most reflective faces toward the changing coast, while deeper mineral surfaces create a calm, shadowed interior.
