Barachois

Like defying the laws of gravity, a slab positioned between sky and earth marks the house. For everything else, restrictions and standards are ditched.

You walk the short distance to the entrance, hum a tune. Time to take a load off your mind; a moment to forget your worries before entering the house and rediscovering what matters. Once enter, no mass separates inside from outside. The occupier is thrust into the countryside, yet remains protected within a comfortable space. A giant stone block becomes your fireplace, suspended over flames. The engineer embraces the light mass concept, removing gravity and weight.
