DOTTIE

Digitally Operated Tectonic Integrated Environment

Four generations living in the house are encouraged to utilize the house's course or memory room for a more communal way of living. The massing is pushed and pulled to accommodate the second-floor program connecting the exterior form and the memory room. Two skylights pierce the roof increasing the vibrancy of the core. The first floor is carved away to create logia, connections between exterior and interior program, and contrast of materiality.

The central double-height space in the house acts as a meeting space for the family, framing special moments. Nooks and openings are used to create a playfulness and highlight the flexibility of the dwelling. A "memory wall" is directly connected to the central space storing and displaying objects of memory, symbolizing the harmony between the four generations.
