Recapitulation II. Map.Diagram.Program

"Of learning and un-learning, thinking and un-thinking."


We were told to design a simple house covering a parameter of <15m in an abstract location, for a client who is a frequent star-gazer and somebody who enjoys his privacy pretty much. In a simpler term, he's kinda a hermit leading a simple life and has visitors occasionally. 


Proposal:  Taking the site to be a flat land with few vegetation, a corner that provides vista of the grassland is crucial which at the same time,  being partially submerged in the scarce foliage.
A bedroom overlooking shady nook, a place for a small drink with friends. A space consists of 3 segmented compartments, leading from public to private . At the same time, the kitchen and bedroom is fully enclosed from views especially in living room that undoubtedly contributes to the privacy level of the client.



Taking inspirations from previous model me and Peter did:  Small House by Kesuyo Sejima
 
  
  
  
Small but well-thought
And taking into account diagrammatic studies of Star Orientations and Directions as well as Mapping an inspirational modernist's movie "Playtime". 

 Something of Paris.
of Orion Nebula,  Meissa and Bellatrix.
Where light years shone on our walkway. Is that possible?

Recapitulation I . dXxBox

To strike a balance between Materiality & Functionalism, d.XxBox celebrates such tolerative coalescence in a single entity with much compromise of human ergonomics.

Unifying smooth touches and rigid body,
A place for reading, amusement and sometimes a furnishing,
Hailing the Mondrian,
A functional storage for paraphernalia.

Play by permutations,
As secondary spaces unveil,
Alternate storage comes real.

Breaking the X-factor,
Transcending age boundaries, adults and kids alike;
finding their own sites,
in these boxes of unanimous sizes.

Epitomizing "Something for Everything, and Everything for One thing"
Making every corner a space provider,
Varieties exists amidst such a hybrid.

 
  
Behind the scenes: The Making
Thank you guys for making this a perfect work!
