FOUR WALLS AND A ROOF //

My entire project was predicated by a desire to shatter traditional architectural conventions. For many, our perception of a “shelter” is confined to a very simple notion: four walls and a roof.

Rather than focusing on space as something needing to be contained, this shelter focuses on leveraging voids as an energy requiring direction.

The structure prioritizes the power in nothingness and utilzes emptiness and fluidity to organize and direct space. This focus produces a form which invokes a natural sense of curiosity as an expanse is created for natural elements such as light to render their own unique patterns and shapes.
