The outer shell of the House is composed of reclaimed wood repeated elements, each collection has a slightly different profile, giving a dynamic and fluid look both outside and inside. Their angles and depths to create a certain level of privacy, from the outside, you can barely see at home, but from the inside, the natural light creates a play of shadows. the self-supporting facade is off-site prefabricated and assembled on site easily, thanks to its modularity.
total interior space is composed of four main areas that represent our main daily activities: play, eat, sleep and hygiene. the central space is based on Islamic, patio featuring an oasis with a skylight and a central pool. The opening of the skylight checks the temperature of the House, once opened, collects rainwater that is filtered into the pool.
