MIRROR HOUSE - AIA 2009 Committee on Design Ideas Competition (COD)The Rachel Raymond House - “Listening to the Past, Looking to the Future: A House for Today.” Concept developed as part of a contest of ideas of the American Institute of Architects (AIA COD), which presupposed the replacement of the recently demolished Rachel Raymond House, exploiting its modernist legacy combined with sustainable principles. The proposed concept borns from the formal reverse of the original project, recovering its memory. The large and modern spaces reflect new housing and cultural needs, relating to the outside through the harmony and quality of natural lighting. Taken to its extreme, the very exterior texture of the house is mirrored, reflecting its natural surroundings, a forest.
