I build houses without walls
No doors to close, no corners to claim
The house I design is the air between things
The garden, the path, the quiet rain
I build houses without walls
No doors to close, no corners to claim
The house I design is the air between things
The garden, the path, the quiet rain
The brick house becomes just a box
A roof to borrow when storms arrive
The real house breathes where the trees lean in
Where the ground remembers how to be alive
Step outside
this is your living room now
The street is your hall
the park your shared kitchen
Shops are small shelters
pockets of warmth where hands trade stories
Invest not in the walls that hold you
but in the ground that carries you
The more you give
the more it grows
a house without edges
a home without end
Hi
I'm a landscape architect that designs the house.
But the house isn't the house in your traditional sense - with a door and paintings on the wall.
The house is the outside space that surrounds the traditional house.
So you live outside in your new house, and the traditional house is now a box within it, with a roof that you can hide away in to shelter if it gets too cold or wet.
But that's just the shelter now, not the house anymore.
So you live outside in your new house most of the time.
Also, the house extends beyond this to the bigger scale, and that's what traditionally would be called public space - streets or parks. But actually, it's all your house where you live. Then there's little shelters where you can work or buy, eat, trade - stuff like that.
So you can invest in your house now if you like, then rent these little shelters. But the real house is the main bit that will improve your life.
The more you invest in this house, the better it gets. There can be places to trade and also places where you can eat - but not restaurants, more like eating stalls where you stop and eat.
You now are moving outside with everyone else, so invest your energy there.
