The Circular Sculpture House
The Circular Sculpture House was designed as an exploration into the aesthetics and potential function of an inhabitable sculpture. The design experiments very directly with the merging of art and architecture in an attempt to suggest new and exciting places in which to live. The hope is to offer the occupants of the Circular Sculpture House completely new kinds of interior and exterior spaces, with which they can experiment with basic daily functions such as eating, bathing, sleeping, working, and relaxing. The unexpected form of the sculpture/house will pleasantly encourage the occupants to approach these basic daily functions in different and hopefully enlighten ways.
The Circular Sculpture House (made of painted steel) consists of three vertically oriented cylinders of different heights, and one cylinder oriented horizontally, all are merged directly together. Two of the vertically oriented cylinders and the one horizontally oriented cylinder are merged together forming places for eating, sleeping, working, and relaxing, the fourth cylinder is used for bathing. A large curved solar panel (that powers the entire house) is built into the horizontal cylinder.
Many exterior painted steel curved elements have been incorporated to visually connect the cylinders together into one sculptural form. Some of these have also been used to support exterior seating and partially enclosed exterior spaces.
