Rock House

The existing boulders give the site its most unique feature. We nestle our project in between the giant rocks and capture one at the center of it. The house is divided into two parts – private bedroom area and public living and dining area. Between the two zones, there is a large covered outdoor deck with the captured rock. The wall of the living room can collapse to merge its territory with this outdoor deck. The building’s exterior has an extra layer of skin – a fishing net shroud which encourages vines from the surrounding jungle to propagate over its surface. Over time, the house becomes its environment.
