the beauty of architectural spaces is an abstract notion neither absolute nor immutable. but in the never-ending push forwards, it seems that a few ideas have gotten lost along the way. namely, that the sensory and emotional aspects provided by a living environment can actually deeply alter the personal well-being of inhabitants.

‘convergence house’

in the ‘convergence house’, sistema arquitectura emphasizes the importance of emotion in design via a constant, direct relationship between natural and artificial environment. each interior space works in union to create a place capable of fulfilling the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of the resident.

using specific frames and view points, ‘convergence house’ allows for contemplation and reflection, whilst never disconnecting from the sacred notion of being one part of a much larger world. the project is developed on a single level, which creates dynamic, interconnected areas within the site’s boundaries.
