the single house

the single house - a reflection of the dynamic nature of people and especially their needs for space. uncluttered, unaccentuated, reasonably scaled space. taking its design cue from large-scale advertisments, the single house is a no-nonsense response to providing a clean, simple, aesthetically pleasing solution to a living space for one.

i could really use a space to pursue my art and my writing - the space i live in is defined and refined by the needs of my family. the single house does away with that and reflects the needs of the person living in it. i look at the images below and would take any one of those - slap some solar panelling on the top and back, sort out the water problem, and away you go. an escape.

here’s the manifesto as presented by the architects working under the company name “front architects”, two polish designers who are quickly making their mark in redefining living space.

“Single Hauz - a kind of manifest, proposal of a house/shelter for a Western Worlder. The "basic unit of society", as marriage is called, is no longer the only model of life. As a detached single occupant house unit, Single Hauz fills a kind of a void in the field of housing proposal for so called "singles". Inspired by a city billboard, it is designed as an object suitable for almost every place on earth. It is especially predisposed for sites of an interesting landscaping. For instance forests, seas, lakes, mountains, meadows - but, on the other hand, just next to the main city street.”
