A dwelling serves as the primary boundary between the intimate and public realms. When it evolves into an authentic extension of its inhabitants, it becomes a home—a "family" house that embodies the identity, rituals, and specific needs of those who reside within. This project was driven by the intent to design such a home, deeply rooted in the unique way of life of the family it was conceived for. Beyond addressing fundamental needs for shelter, rest, and sustenance, the design process also considered the family’s personal preferences, dynamics, and future aspirations. The aim was to create a house that adapts over time, offering a versatile backdrop capable of accommodating life’s inevitable changes.
One of the site’s most defining features is its orientation toward a park. This context led us to explore strategies that establish a seamless visual connection between the house’s interior and the green surroundings while safeguarding the residents’ privacy from external views.
Additionally, it was essential for the family to integrate cherished furniture pieces and art collections from their former home. As a result, the spatial design was meticulously crafted to harmoniously incorporate these elements from the very beginning, ensuring they seamlessly coexist within the new environment.
