"Great buildings that move the spirit have always

"Great buildings that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique, poetic, products of the heart, of sensibility and with a freshness of view, which shows us the way and reminds us of our mission to inspire. They are honest, simple and stirring. They reinforce the way of architecture – the quiet voice that underlies it and has guided it from the beginning." – Arthur Erickson⁠
⁠
Home Lumber was designed as an minimal and refined composition of forms and materials. Open to the sky through a pyramidal skylight, with frameless glass opening to views of the surrounding low-lying shrubbery, the enclosure is visually reduced to an elegant post-and-beam structure shielded by an expansive, cantilevered roof, and sited upon an elevated terrazzo podium. A spatial and material experience akin to being seated beneath a tree canopy.⁠

Quiet and comfortable has since become a bold statement amongst its industrial park neighbours. A light-filled, human-scaled structure, constructed of glass and heavy timber, the building is a succinct commercial translation of the free-standing pavilion concepts explored in his residential body of work. This is Home Lumber (Jawl Industries Offices), designed by Arthur Erickson and completed in 1972. ⁠

⁠"The child cannot rediscover the city unless the city rediscovers the child." –Aldo van Eyck, 1968⁠
⁠
Modern child's play has been at the center of design thinking for nearly a century, particularly within the optimistic spirit of the modernist movement. From prescriptive play structures to adventure playgrounds, designers have explored the multitude of ways to promote a sense of wonder, imagination, fantasy, physical activity, and to aid in social and educational development. ⁠
⁠
The 2017 Brick House, designed by Campos Studio, is an architecture of play, a veritable, "non-committal" playground that invites the imagination of the child to discover how it is used. "The spaces, along with the material choices, were designed to allow the children to transform formal living spaces into game areas. Blurring the distinction between formal and play areas throughout the house encourages us to rethink the way we segregate functions and encourage creative thinking about space." –Campos Studio ⁠

Among the cut-outs and voids of the Brick House is a central courtyard around which the bedrooms are organized. A place to come together, to connect with the outdoors, to contemplate, to play, to engage with the street, it is a space that can serve many different creative functions. ⁠
⁠
How would you engage with the courtyard? ⁠
