ICHOU

Conceptual

Japan

2024

Between two boulders a bridge that is not meant to be crossed, but a floating structure to be inhabited. Like a hammock, stable and yet dynamic, the residence swings from and between ferns and tree leafs that grow, turn bright red and for a second, fly smoothly through the air before turning into the soil on which this house stands. Through the four seasons, the residence is meant to contemplate with respect and subtlety the passage of time. Shadows and darkness embraces the silence that remarks the uniqueness and beauty of a singular instant. The silence stops, birds sing. The freezing night surrenders to the first arrays of sunlight that though the transparent glass lands into a house that frames a moving image of our existence.
