SPACE OF WARMTH

What makes a house a "home"?

​

"Home" is experienced through activities, not through visual elements.

​

As Juhani Pallasmaa puts it, genuine architectural experiences are not only from the visual design of the door, but from the act of entering; not from the window itself as a material object, but from looking in or out of a window, not from the fireplace as a visual design object, but from the occupation of a space of warmth.

​

Physical temperature turns into a space of intimate and personal warmth. The architectural space is the living space rather than the physical space, and the living space always exceeds the geometry.​​​​​​
