Alter-HouseConcept design3D ModelCreated with SketchUp, the digital model allows in-depth exploration of the concept.The partial underground thought archive is surrounded by glass as, just like our thoughts, it should be viewed from all angles. Small viewports in the floor of the architect’s space allow for ease of viewing to the archive which stimulates inspiration

Site 33°38’57.1”N 2°27’20.3”E - El Haouita, Algeria

Featuring mostly flat terrain on site, El Haouita is a stunning desert landscape with beautiful views and minimal distractions for the architect that dwells in the alter house. With consistent sunshine from dawn to dusk, and from all angles, the dwelling can be well lit without the introduction of artificial globes

ALTER HOUSE OR HOUSE FOR THE LIFE OF THE MINDT H O U G H T S C A P E S • T 1 2 0 1 8

D E S I G N I N T E N T C O N T .

Working off of the thought figures in assessment one, the alter house is

simultaneously a vertical and horizontal being that will invoke a warm or

cold feeling depending on who dwells within it.

The first floor is a dedicated thought archive for the dweller. It is

surrounded by glass which represents how I process and share my

thoughts. Like most, my thoughts are rarely fully contained and are

viewed from several angles by either myself or in a collaborative

environment. It is light filled and has a glass ceiling, which is a physical

representation of the metaphorical glass ceiling that exists in the built

environment but with the positive light I shine apon it and my abilities.

The architect’s space is on the first floor and is a literal

embodiment of the ideal space for most architects like

me. A comfortable place to sit or nap on and a drafting

table, and chair, that can be folded up neatly on the wall

to allow for extra space to spread out serveral pieces of

the paper on the floor. The floor hosts just few

viewports to allow the architect to viewed their stored

items

With windows on every wall except the north wall, light

is guaranteed to fill the space from dawn to dusk

resulting in minimal artificial lighting being required.

The entire first floor is made out of lightweight concrete

and covered in a lightweight cladding for style purposes.

The roofing is lightweight corrogated steel, allowing for

the structure to be perched on eight stone pillars. This

takes all stress off of the minimal steel frame on the

first floor and allows the glass to be uninhibited by the

skeleton of the building.
