Description
The project is a kind of rethinking to the existing beach houses for vacations.

Collaborate designer: Zachary Wong, Mo Kar Him
Location: Lima, Peru

Concept:
In the realm of collective unconsciousness, mass consumerism, mass tourism engulfs our minds. Everyone dreamed of their own dream house, sited by the sea listening to the sound of waves. The beach houses, parasites on the desire and proliferates. But the beach houses can never provides such a quality, they cramped together tightly in a constrained land lot on the other hand tries to avoid each other to maintain their own dream. Visions for the beach side house are different than this.

The shed [cell] country-beach house questions the presence of such a kind. The house emphasizes its duality throughout summer-winter. The summer house is provided as a minimal shed to people for maximum enjoyment and contact with the nature as well as other beings. So, to enjoy the qualities of summer and the place one also needs to accept what comes with it, heat of the summer, and breeze from the sea, your neighbours, beings at the site, etc. In winter, it transforms into the winter house, the [cell]. The cell carries along the necessities of urban living to the rural region, from lighting, heating, air-conditioning, necessities to pleasure are all included. The only method to enter the [cell] can only through the cinematic act of caging, the voluntary action of prison oneself in the self-created world of modernism. So once inside the [cell] it is a process of meditation or relaxation, over the deeds for the day.
