This project for An imaginary house for Silence, by Dellekamp Arquitectos, reflects an enduring interest in creating a space that is formed by a close relationship with nature, where one can live intimately in the natural world. The house emerges from the essence of the forest, where towering trees surround and protect the body, creating a magical environment of dappled light in the quiet solitude of nature. By our human weakness, we are moved to leave a contemplative and tranquil mark on the site. Like a cloister, characterized by its intimacy and purity, the structure thoughtfully concentrates the elements and the surrounding environment in an architectural space. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Visual axes penetrate the space, establishing direct contact with the exterior through openings in the volumes. The interchange between closed and open creates uninterrupted views of the pristine surroundings. Sliding glass doors and partially enclosed spaces like courtyards create a fluid space, also offering protection from the elements while allowing for direct visual contact with the outside.
