Between Living and Staying A House Without Doors
This project explores a new way of living that exists somewhere between home and hospitality.
Over time, urban housing has become increasingly organized around function. Spaces for sleeping, dining, working, and relaxing are separated into distinct rooms, creating homes that operate as collections of clearly defined functions.
In contrast, places of hospitality—such as hotels and retreats—are often shaped less by function than by experience. People move through them intuitively, choosing where and how to spend their time according to mood, atmosphere, and relationships rather than predetermined programs.
This project attempts to bring these two worlds together within a single home.
From the entrance, private and communal paths gradually unfold and intersect, creating a continuous spatial sequence throughout the residence.
There are almost no doors in this house.
Rather than being divided into rooms defined by specific functions, the space is organized through subtle shifts in distance, openness, and relationships. Occupants move freely through the house, choosing different places to inhabit throughout the day according to their needs, moods, and activities.
Moments of solitude, daily routines, gatherings with family and friends, and quiet reflection all coexist within a continuous spatial landscape. The house is conceived not as a collection of rooms, but as a sequence of experiences that transforms over time.
Earth-toned plaster finishes and gently curved surfaces provide a calm and continuous backdrop for these changing conditions. Rather than prescribing behavior through strong formal gestures, the architecture quietly accommodates the rhythms of everyday life.
This is neither a house nor a hotel.
It is an exploration of a new urban dwelling that exists between living and staying.
