Figurative Space
This space is mainly due to the conciseness and uniqueness of its geometric shape determined. This shape is gradually changing but significantly over the entire extent of the building. Its wrapping remains an uninterrupted, widely ramified surface, without this form being compromised by any other element. Accordingly, the space envelope is the only architectural element that determines this space.
It does not matter whether it is infinitely heavy and massive, or just a very thin skin. It identities itself with gravity, its mass, its weight, realises its volume, and the space that shape the displaces in the air.
A Place of a house
The concrete shell as the only spatial envelop embraces a large single space. There are no angles and walls in this space and the shape will never be clear from the inside. The ground follows the changing of ceiling up and down, leaving a certain parallel space in between. The bedroom and bathroom lie above the sloping floor with the entrance on top. The hidden space can hardly be perceived and noticeable from the large space.
