David Hotson Architect

Based in New York, David Hotson Architect creates spatial environments defined by monochrome surfaces, continuous folded planes, and layered optical depth achieved through precise sightline cutouts and reflective geometries. The work offers a strong reference when detailing suspended helical circulation, framing contextual landmarks through structural apertures, or organizing light within multi-level sacred and residential interiors.

Monochrome architectural rendering of a coastal interior with exposed timber roof trusses, loft stair, and ocean view.

Monochrome architectural rendering of a coastal interior with exposed

An interior architectural precedent demonstrating how complex timber roof structures and multi-level zoning can frame expansive ocean views in a residential setting.

What we like about this project
Monochromatic white finish applied uniformly across structural timbers, walls, and furnishings to emphasize pure form and light.

Geometry
Multi-level interior volume featuring a complex pitched roof structure, central stair leading to an upper loft, and full-height glazing facing an ocean horizon.
Structural guess
Exposed timber roof trusses and framing
Spatial scale
Double-height residential interior space.
Lighting
Diffused daylight entering through a skylight and large ocean-facing glazing, casting soft shadows across uniform white surfaces.
Atmosphere
Calm, airy, and ethereal with a monochromatic palette emphasizing geometry and natural light.
Environmental context
Coastal site with direct views of sandy beach and open water.
Spatial experience
A tranquil, light-filled space framing coastal views while organizing multiple vertical levels through exposed structural framing.
Composition rhythm
Repeating rafter and truss geometry creates a strong radial and linear overhead rhythm.
