P1 - 1:10 Model Images

After review, this dwelling acts as an oceanic experience where the world around is experienced as an infinite vastness. Peering inside the main space. The dwelling 5.8m by 3.5m has enough room for a bed, desk and kitchen.  Four steel hydraulic lifts hold the roof up (not built in the model)

Sill detail. The edges of the line hang to emphasize the cut.

The main wood staircase up. Bathroom to the immediate left.

Illuminated from within by the energy provided with the photovoltaic roof system, the dwelling at night is able to light up as a lanternlandscape. The entire facade can be further clad with photo-voltaics for a smaller energy use footprint, but at the expense of reduced efficiency

Interior view looking at staircase. Kitchen space to the left, sleep and work area further to the left. Kitchen contains a small cooking top, fridge, and small storage space. Additional in-floor storage units contain a roll up sleeping mats, blankets and other necessities.

The roofs expands with a 4 point hydraulic lift system allowing the exterior to become part of the main space as required. The horizon becomes special in relation to the site and building. (the terrain model was scrapped with the CNC being out of commission)

Roof in its closed position. Everything within isolated from the world. The single curved line is a play on the stratification present in stone -in particular, that of a travertine fireplace of which I drew my inspiration from.

A quick and dirty visualization of the dwelling during a good winter snowfall.
