A House for Me and a Habitual Visitor. Transitional Objects

By Hanna Podladowska

House as an Open Form explores a space that does not limit our movement or impose a particular way of understanding its spatial premise, which can be experienced in limitless ways. It is a place where architecture seeks a different partnership between humans, objects, and other visitors. How do we animate the space? How do objects animate us? How do we develop our habits while we create our house?

The proposal delves into a transitional meaning that extends into our relationship with the various parts of the house. The project merges residential functionality with spaces dedicated to cultivating specific customs that form the house’s central premise: A Garden Tea Habit, A Table Habit, A Bench Habit, A Tea Habit, and A Garden Habit. The house questions the scale of inhabitation, our habits, and how we can cultivate them regardless of the architectural or cultural context.

House wants to be an architecture that performs and invites to perform where perhaps not everything can be entirely understood but ultimately experienced. As the structure transforms, it does not have to be fully finished. Its architecture is constantly “active” and process-oriented, shaping a tension that becomes a specific language between inhabitants, objects, and materials in the house and its visitors.
