[Maison De Verre]

Translucent, though not transparent


Model 1:20

                                                                           


The natural illumination inside is created through a translucent, though not transparent glass-facade. The placement of the large lamps in front of the glass-wall, which are taken to use when amount of natural light decreases, manipulates the internal understanding of the external reality, making the opening a filter of imagination.

Externally, the only visualization of life inside is a play of shadows, depending on placement/strength of internal sources of light, as well as distance to the glass facade.

It is an introverted design without regards to context.
