Description
A simple and natural concept based on a house that looks like a house, with basic shapes, concrete as the main mateiral and time as an ally. By analogy, emulation and filtration, the elements emerge: roof, windows, chimney, porch, balcony and railings, all joint by an apparent opacity and a stong unexpected interior/exterior constrast.
