Summer House: House of Breezes

House of Breezes
Client: Shinkenchiku Residential Design Competition
Services: Architecture





Challenge
What can we ask of the architecture of our time? To remain aware of environmental issues while allowing everyone to rediscover the wonderful pleasures of summer.
Outcome
Human habitation and the gentle cadence of nature's breath.
Louvered, sliding, and jalousie wall systems permit modulation of light and air.
Summer Comfort House of Breezes
-
Interconnectedness, unity with Nature and living beings
-
Impermanence, constant moving, changing of light, air and reflections.
-
Mindfulness, a house of presence, required to adjust the house to the changing environment.
-
Non-Self: experience a profound connection with the flow of life and nature without attachment to individual identity.
