Klein/Dytham Architecture’s Billboard Building:
The building is tiny. It’s a 11m long, two-storey high wedge, 2.5m wide at one end and tapering to just 600mm at the other. Although small, it has a prominent position facing a well-trafficked road. Being nearly all front, we let it be what it so obviously wanted to be – an inhabitable billboard.
Talk about making the most of what little you were given!
The inherent challenge of designing an attractive and functional building on a plot of land this size must’ve been exciting, and I love the bamboo-garden facade, which casts a great shadow during the day.
