Dodecahedron House Proposal

Dodecahedron House is an experimental and speculative project that was inspired by brutalism, geometric form, and metabolism in architecture. It is was inspired by the Farnsworth House and the works of Canadian Architect Arthur Erickson.  

​

Conceptually, the intersection between concrete, glass and wood became an iterative transaction that means each material could compliment the other. Though the concrete stands out, it was deliberate in the form in order to maintain the brutalist style  that is on show. It is the only structural feature that facilitates standards out of early and mid-century modernism. 

​

The characteristics of the turret-like balconies are form finding, and the chameleon windows of the house are central pieces inspired by the twelve sided polygon, that is a dodecahedron. This polyhedron is put to use to double up as a window and as a seating area on the upper floor. Redacted polyhedrons are also used to make scarifications in the face of the external walls. The ground floor is wrapped in tipple glazed panels to perform sustainably and give softness like a woman and embrace nature. The idea is that the house can easily fit in and compliment the surroundings what it will eventually be placed, despite its overwhelming manly upper floor.
