The Circus

This vacation home is designed as a retreat for a car-loving client and friends, centered around the concept of spending time with cars. Unlike typical homes with garages, the goal was to create a relaxed environment that blurs the boundaries between people, cars, and rooms. The circular design allows for flexibility and accommodates multiple layouts, as it has no dead-ends and allows for free movement throughout the first story. The client's desire for a house that could be used in various ways gave rise to this extreme version of impracticality often sought in vacation homes.

Cross

A private residence built on a site facing two roads in a quiet residential area. The exterior, which can be seen from the outside, has an orderly form, ensuring a moderate sense of openness while protecting the privacy of the residents. The interior is moderately open and has a visual expanse. In addition, in accordance with the shape of the site, the two planes intersect at different angles in the center, and the space created here gently connects the rooms. A new blank space is created by appropriately dividing the plane, and the plan is to deepen communication between residents.
