House N is architecture for shared living. It emerges from a simple question: how to create a home whose soul is collective. Organized into two volumes around a central patio – a deliberate void that breathes and connects – the house becomes an emotional and spatial system for contemplation, encounter, and the unhurried rhythm of family life.
Guided by the principle of “subtract to add,” the design embraces voids, shade, and silence as essential elements. Materials like stone, wood, and terracotta recall rural memory, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. House N does not aim to impress, but to accompany life: a quiet refuge open to the landscape, where the essential finds room to unfold.
