Rocks and Sea. I look at the sea and I know it is just a tiny border of something very big and wet. I can only imagine the ocean in my head, so it remains a concept. I am familiar with rocks - they are also endless - but I don’t have that mystical relation to them: rocks are just pieces of stone lying somewhere, hard and physical - but also beautiful. This project is about these two conditions. The space facing the sea is the most artificial and the most conceptual space that I know of - a circular space. I cut it exactly in half. The space facing the rocks is also a circle and a hill is more or less in its centre. Here the circle only makes a boundary to give presence to a random area of rocks. The house occupies a fragment of that space.
