HOUSE ERRAZURIz

The project aims to explore the ways in which a space can actively communicate to the user a specific way of living and moving.  Additionally, the project foregrounds nature, creating a contradiction within itself – making its presence always felt while also dissolving it to a point where the distinction between building and nature disappears.  The building, consisting of a circle and square creates a centripetal layering that radiates outwards from the center.  All active programs are pushed to an exterior thickened wall, forcing the inhabitant to confront the natural landscape, leaving the interior free for introspection.

Project done in collaboration with Kathy Kao
