INTERVAL House presents itself as a composition of staggered concrete volumes, distinct among the plastered and painted terrace houses on the street. Its pure geometric façade, punctuated only by narrow slit openings, hints at a more introspective life within.
Entry begins with restraint: an opaque front block softened only by a veil of glass bricks filtering light between the car porch and foyer. Beyond it, the full-height door reveals a three-storey courtyard — a still vertical void held between smooth concrete walls. Light descends from a gently curved skylight above, washing across the raw texture of the concrete surface.
Across the void, tapered bridges cut through space at shifting angles, linking the front and rear wings of the house while casting dynamic, animated shadows. A bright red metal stair ascends through the courtyard in a sharp triangular sweep, injecting movement, warmth, and play into the otherwise quiet, monolithic envelope.
Private rooms are contained within solid cubic volumes, their openings reduced to slits and narrow crevices carved between staggered forms. Light finds unexpected paths across these surfaces — catching edges, slipping past corners, and animating the interior with a quiet choreography of shadows.
The house unfolds as a field of encounters — a space where light, geometry, and movement continuously remake the experience, allowing new moods and meanings to emerge with every passing moment.
