We conceive a house as an extension of the human being; as a residence, a place where you live in the broadest sense of the word. A place where you feel, where you connect with your loved ones, with yourself, and with life itself. An intimate place, one that should be inhabited and made one’s own. A house should be that place where you wish to go back to. A place you feel identify with, that makes you feel complete. According to Le Corbusier, “The home should be the treasure chest of living, (…) a machine for living in”. We designed a contemporary industrial house; a comfortable, efficient and precise object capable of reflecting and promoting the new ways in which we currently dwell.
A house the owner can feel identified with and can call it his own. An object with a powerful and unique image. We projected a Basic Module featuring a single space, unlabeled, flexible and versatile. On one side, there is the sanitary module, thus generating three interior areas and one exterior. It is a divisible room that features an interior, a partially covered area or both. A gallery-patio as an extension of the interior into nature. This proposal will allow user-dwellers to make it their own, organize it according to their own criteria and moments. They can modify it with absolute freedom and autonomy.
