Abstract

The character of a house may be defined through the relationship between its architecture and its objects. The extent to which these two elements are negotiated forms its overall image and experience. Yet, oftentimes, the inclusion of objects in design is overlooked, despite their importance in shaping interior space. This thesis aims to reassert and elevate the presence of the object in an architectural interior, challenging typical conventions of displaying and storing objects through a series of elements that create poché. The project speculates on the potential of blurring the relationship between the architecture and the objects where the architecture adapts to reorganize spatial relationships. Through the lens of time, the house is presented as a dynamic interior that responds to the fluidity of contemporary life.
