The House of Breathing Void

House of the Breathing Void is a residential house organized around a central atrium. The atrium acts as an open void where air and light circulate freely, forming the environmental core of the home. The atrium also creates a continuous dialogue between interior and exterior spaces. The house follows bioclimatic principles, with a clear southern orientation that captures sunlight, supports passive heating and encourages natural ventilation. The same orientation gives the building a diagonal form, a response that is both spatial and climatic.
