EXPLOSION ARCHITECTURE?
A house modelled on the form of an explosion by Portuguese artist and architect Didier Faustino looks set to become the next completed residence in the series of Spanish dream houses for French developer Christian Bourdais.
Didier Faustino and his architecture studio Mésarchitectures have designed a residence made up of rectilinear volumes that project outward in different directions to create a variety of apertures, framing views of the surrounding landscape and sky.
Floors inside the structure will be arranged as staggered platforms, which the design team hopes will encourage residents to "experience space in new ways, from infinitely large to infinitely small".
"Similarly to the centre of the 'Big Bang' the house appears to draw in as well as reflect the light at its core," said the designers. "The floors cause the body to feel weightless due to a lack of traditional spatial references."
A swimming pool will be located on the lowest level of the building and will extend out beyond the walls.
So far only one house has been completed in the Solo Houses series - the symmetrical concrete Casa Pezo by Chilean studio Pezo Von Ellrichshausen. A total of 12 are proposed and include designs by Sou Fujimoto, Johnston Marklee and Takei Nabeshima.
