Deck-construction
Deck-construction
- Site-specific cases
New perspectives of public-private relationship are proposed by this 22 meter long deck that goes from the middle of the street until the end of the plot, passing over the sidewalk, through an old window, crossing the dining room, piercing an adobe wall with a new Matta-Clark alike opening, flying over the living room and across a rear window to end up at the backyard, the central part of the block and, by default, the most private place in the city.
Dividing the building in two demands a new use, one where people can walk freely in straight line, with the uncanny feeling given by this new hight, switching rooms with minimum effort and without doors.
The physical construction of the line is the real dilution of this ever-existing binomial: emerging from the house into the street is the only way of effectively disturb public space, seducing pedestrians to stop, look at the intimacy of the house through a succession of different rooms and even take a walk over this new hallway.
