Project Description from Phyd Arquitecture: The house is built around three project themes. The continuous and enlacing space which incorporates different inhabiting functions. The time which incorporates the movement and permanence. The materiality which incorporates the antithesis weight/lightness. Concrete volume; from which is subtracted, the space to enter, and the south patios. Patios that enable continuity between different spaces of the house and interior/exterior which behave like a sun clock, alternating solid and diffuse light. The space articulates compression and horizontality with decompression and verticality. In a precise exercise, of measure and proportion. The materiality is used in its most essential expression, conferring to the house, weight and lightness simultaneously.

This homes form seems more appropriate for a tenement building's light wells than a suburban home. What's with conceptual purity at the expense of function and maybe joy? Vile Child

seems SupraJoyful to me. But I like form and space and mass and light and how the colors outside reflect on the white walls. Shit like that. Thayer-D

By all means, enjoy the light dancing on the concrete surface, I've just seen ones that aren't so inward looking. Joyful Child
