This house answers the dichotomous desires for social connection and private withdrawal.

It is a predominantly public space, with a private “floating” volume for purely domestic program. The redundant rooms that typify domestic structure have been replaced with expansive spaces that cater to social/creative endeavours.

It is the ideal home for hyper-social solitary living.

The individuals living here are looking to live an autonomous life but also need a suitable space to share their latest creative outputs.

Social endeavour acts as an antidote to loneliness in their nomadic lives.

Guests travel through the gallery space in B1 and up the lift to the main dining room at L2. It is quite possible they would not even register they had entered someone’s home.

This is not necessarily a house. Not a gallery. Not a restaurant. Rather, a new typology that combines all of these.
