Ongoing.
On a steep, narrow, south-facing site, the house necessarily establishes multiple relationships with the ground. Each one presents different climatic conditions, and the project aims to compose by combining these varied qualities: the stability of the subsoil, the coolness of the southern sky, the full solar exposure to the north, and the open, ground-level, naturally ventilated platform.
Between the mass of the roof above and the basement volume below, the project explores the habitability of the peripheral zones of conventional domestic space – a ground floor becoming a place open to the wind, freely usable, and somewhat indeterminate in its function.
In plan, the narrowness of the plot and its slightly off-cardinal orientation invite a torsion of the volume – a lean toward the sun, due north – to activate the Trombe wall that forms the northern gable.
