Residence in Drafi. The field is angular. The two existing tree clusters are discontinuously disposed, top left and bottom right respectively, defining a diagonal void in the plot. How can the residence realize a built boundary of intimacy which does not interrupt this continuity? The existing void, becomes the to-be-built void. Corner plot, diagonal composition. A crack in the shell itself on the diagonal between the trees restores continuity. Cracking is exacerbated by the vertical swimming tank. Here the entrance is found. Entering the narrow, transparent area connecting the two areas of the house, the direct view is essentially unfamiliar: Water and pine trees. The house remains absent. One selects whether to head left or right in order to find it. The structural design at the point of rupture is characterized by a corridor which will rest on the two cut-off concrete sides and the composite metal column that receives the beam, which extends towards the tank. The shell's boundaries display different degrees of hardness: absolute transparency of the crack, absolute opacity of the exposed concrete, relative transparency of the wooden skin.
