Barclay & Crousse
 
location Caņete
function private house
contributed by shaelkonef

The project seeks to create the necessary intimacy to live in the desert and to 'domesticate' it without denying or betraying its characteristics. Barclay & Crousse started by conceiving a pure solid which would appear to have always been there. During the design process, we "excavated" this theoretical solid, removing matter bit-by-bit, just as archaeologists would remove sand to discover the pre-Columbian ruins in this region. The resulting exterior spaces merge with interior spaces in a continuous fluid space within an enclosure that pushes the ambiguity between interior and exterior spaces to its limits.
