Activating the Surface
Niche House
Surface defines space, it defines our experience and our action. A well-designed surface gives a space many functions and characters and it always interacts. The occupants can identify the different spaces by the way in which the light changefully passes trough the surface. The surface only offers privacy when needed and the forms occasionally reveal function. The occupants are tempted to explore their environment again and again discovering new possibilities each space is offering. The house invites you to journey trough a structure with a lot of interesting spots to abide. It is a house where you can improvise.

Activating the Surface
The architect designs the structural shell of an empty space that affects the atmosphere. The way the architect shapes the surface determines which character and function the space gets and this allows the visitor to get a partly controlled experience. With a lot of the modern architecture I miss the art, the art in the surface itself. I get bored by the uniformly illuminated structureless surfaces and therefore a interactive space. Wich elements can we use to activate the surface so that the space is fueled with expression again?
