Architecture for slow houses

Every house we draw starts from three words.

Scroll, and the room turns.

Light

Shade

Air

We start from the sun: where it rises, where it sets, how long it stays on the kitchen table.
Then we draw the shade: porches, deep windows, the trees we keep, so summer stays cool without machines.
Last, the air: rooms that open into each other, so a breeze can cross the house from end to end.

Light, shade and air. The rest is walls.
