my family and I embarked on the building of a generational home as a token of our voyage to a new homeland, and an ode to the bond we have with this charming city.
the project commenced just before the onset of the covid pandemic, an event which changed many people's lives.
i took charge of the building's destiny while observing the world fracturing around me.
i decided a new building we put into the world needed to carry more thinking and responsibilities.
I was studying german idealism at the university of chicago at the time.
so naturally i saw ways in which this can become a spatial experiment, executed via architecture.
This is not designed to be a pretty house, though it contains many beautiful intentions and details.
I built this as an action, in response to questions.
can we break down conservative spatial hierarchies in domestic settings?
can a fluid space encourage creativity in day to day living?
can private architecture be more than private shelter?
