“Butterfly House” is a conceptual project inspired by Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis. In this novel, the protagonist, Gregor, turns into a bug overnight. Throughout the story, Gregor details his disatisfaction with his living environment. The human environment doesn’t suit his needs anymore.
In my thesis studio, we were given creative liberty to decide Gregor’s fate. In my world, Gregor escapes his toxic environment and moves to this apartment, where he transitions between bug and man on a 24-hour cycle. Here he is able to explore both sides of himself freely
With aspects such as free-flowing walls and a kitchen with a living wall, this apartment creates a space where a human and bug could live happily.
