Children occupy space in uncommon ways; attempting to inhabit a space which is atmospherically, tangibly, and materialistically different than everyday norm. This project investigates the relationship of mundane (typical housing program) and whimsical (programmatically a retreat space) in domestic architecture. The reimagined type of domesticity explores a sensual and experience based approach to create atmospheric, unique space.

Jury Comments: We enjoyed reviewing this projects investigation. The concept highlights a contrast between the mundane spaces of everyday living and the more relaxed or “whimsical” spaces that exist within the lofty spaces above. The presentation was very clear; something that is critical to demonstrate conceptual ideas.
