Private-public | 2012

There is a shift in the public-private atmosphere of living in a  house. When people walk on the street, a house is a private element. So from the street, the house should have an enclosed atmosphere. Inside the house you should have an open feeling, a public feeling. But there is a shift in public a private when you enter the house. Not the whole house needs to have an open feeling. Rooms like a  bathroom, a bedroom, a toilet... need to have a private feeling inside a home.

In this project the position of the private rooms is switched in each house.
