brief notes on a house with no appearance.
two different schemes superimposed one on top the other; a longitudinal one, based on spatial forking, and the one underneath, based on a hand fingers like configuration. as a result, it is a fractured mass, ruled by the rhythm of the roof structure. some other important things are the growth against the slope, entrance through the umbilicus and permeable skins that thicken space boundaries. upper level is a daytime pavilion with a metal roof structure that goes all the way through in visual continuity, with long views through a sequence of spaces. concrete supporting walls and glass enclosure are the other two vertical elements, blurring the idea of interior and exterior. rooms below are burrow like, with nested openings in between them. it is a formless project in the sense that is impossible getting any volumetric understanding as spectator, also because of the camouflage of the permeable skin with the concrete, dynamic in perception because of light. it is an inhabitable porous enclosure, made by superimposition of multiple layer with different density and permeability and therefore, different degrees of interiority.
