Flexible Square

During our lives we experience many changes, so it is often necessary that the spaces we use also change. The house is one of those spaces that we usually buy / build once in a lifetime and use it forever, but due to the fact that the family changes over the years, modular houses which are flexible depending on our requirements are very necessary nowadays.

The Ascent

The Ascent is a modernistic cubicle style three-story house with a semi-basement garage and a swimming pool. The concept behind the Ascent is its connectivity to its surroundings and nature. Given that the site overlooks the city, the building consists of curtain walls expanding from slab to glass to provide the user a clear full view of the scenery.

What if this shape’s positives and negatives were balanced out to make things work spatially and architecturally? The challenge here would be constructing every element of a house to just one shape, a Square.
