    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    “CUBE on a WALL” is a cubic volume stacked atop a grounded volume. A “dog-legged” stair leads from the street to the second and third levels. On the ground an articulated wall encloses, releases, partitions, and extends the interior to the exterior to gather and integrate nature. Located in the Lower Heights neighborhood of Downtown Houston, Texas. Drawing its inspiration from Mies Van Der Rohe - Alois and Sophie Riehl “Hill” House and its use of “deep recess”. The house use of deep shadow helps to articulate a separation between the ground volume and the volume above.
