void fulness

When we arrive, sky is the ceiling, moving through the emptiness of full space.

As if the house was transferring the ceiling, the typical white is transformed in an open blue on the upper look. The patios in different levels, are constant voids moving around the project.

On this capture of space, when the square meter is pulled off, this extraction creates exterior space inside the interior gaps. This monolithic core defines a rhythm…and brings it to the façade. These windows are made to look up at, and not to look through. In the monolithic staircase the steps come closer, and recreate the moving plan, an apparent static painting in constant movement. Wall framed glass, like a portrait that sometimes moves.

Our time framed: while extracting the need, we are collecting voids.
