The dissection of the existing house typology provides an image of the essential components. The organs of the body are removed, altered and returned with their new demands and juxtapositions. The result is both the system and the product. The anywhere house has been revealed. The guest room detaches itself from the interior of the house permitting an expansion of its inhabitance. The body of the private is liberated from its invasion. The unit develops as an independent entity. Plugged into the facade through the public face of the constructed dwelling the guest pavilion allows a convenience of both resident and visitor alike. The visitor as an instigator to the cyclical repetition of daily life becomes a jeweled object of display and representation. The grit of sand forms a pearl. The image of the television merges with the icons of the commercially demanded representation. Images screens, float across the dwelling merging the exterior face with the interior inhabitance while balancing the edge of the projected reality with the dwelling confines. The image represents the communality of mass culture infused in the house through its planar presence. Images, both planned and unplanned, infect the daily dealings of place. The introduction of the commercial production of the workplace into the confines of the residential dwelling shifts the flow of product movement. The house absorbs a greater flux than the automobile’s trunk capacity. Product moving along the existing infrastructure of UPS and FedEx flows through a holding airlock: the commercial windpipe of the residence’s presence. The service functions of the body reflect their presence in the house through a functional ganging. The elements congeal to form cores within which efficiency defines proportion. The body’s demands are serviced to allow the mind’s freedom to bounce along its edge. The resulting bars organizes the resulting peripheral space of each pavilion. The internalized storage condition of the traditional closet is removed from the bowels of the house and smeared along its facade. The articulation of the accumulated objects of cultural production reflect the uniqueness of the inhabitant’s identity. The resulting storage-display becomes the patchwork image of the resident’s personality. Based upon the free plan the articulated surface of the house assists in the definition of living space. Change in texture, regardless of interior-exterior condition, presents juxtapositions of location and organization to define the interior planning of the house. The surface, combined with the suspended plates, define areas of presence amidst the undulating surface of the perimeter shell. Image screens re-present the projected icon of the television screen by integrating it into the spatial definition of the anywhere house architecture. The undulating information surface establishes compositional juxtapositions and intellectual exposure. The artificial and documented world of exposed cellulose collapse reality and time as distant images infiltrate the most intimate of places. The superimposition of life upon document creates a third condition revelatory in its presentation. The image screen reattaches daily activity to the happenings of society and the majesty of our natural condition. The boundary of the anywhere house remains undefined. The following are three houses, rural, suburban and urban that manifest the aforementioned principles. The result is a new typology: a personal domesticity celebrating the inevitabilities of contemporary living.

urban
- The urban site operates on the three dimensional enclosure of
the urban boundary. The interior program deflects the continuous
surface of enclosure. The interior is organized programmatically
in distinct trays. A central core defines the service bar in the
vertical. The space of living is defined by occupation. |

suburban

suburban
- The suburban expands to encompass the boundaries of the serial
site. A linear service bar defines a edge along which the activities
of the house occur. An elevated sleeping bar hovers on a second
level. The perimeter is enclosed by a series of operable screens
opening and closing the site and the house. The public functions
line the crenulated front facade and the commercial back. Living
happens across the insertions. |

rural
- The rural inserts itself into the field of production. Emerging
from the horizontal modular of the combine, the house distinctly
articulates the individual programmatic components: service, live,
sleep, guest, work. The result is a living field. Carving itself
into the landscape the rural house rides an edge between the natural
and the cultivated. |
