Included in the group exhibition titled Under the Radar at the Swiss Architecture Museum, the Smuggling Architecture installation seeks to reclaim the suburban housing stock that has been neglected by modern architecture.
Smuggling Architecture is a Graham Foundation funded installation at the Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel, Switzerland.
Builder home plans are formed by the aggregation of specific rooms: bedrooms and bathrooms; living room, kitchen, breakfast nook, and dining room; laundry room and garage..
Believe it or not, this is the #1 selling builder's home plan under 2,000 square feet. Functionally, this home accommodates the needs of the nuclear family, organizing master and children's bedrooms on opposite ends of the home.
However, from certain vistas, the enfilade that cuts at a curve through the home presents itself.
In many of the rooms, the introduction of the enfilade nearly goes unperceived.
The rooms function independently as they did prior to the enfilade smuggle.
This 2,500 square foot home plan centralizes all of the home's shared spaces (living, dining, and kitchen) at the center of the home, and lines the perimeter with the bedrooms.
This 3,000 square foot builder's home plan is defined by a series of stylized chamfered corners throughout the large home.
From the main entrance, the anterooms that are shaped as rotated squares throughout the home, offer a vista of successive rooms.
The anterooms playfully animate the interior of the home, creating multiple niches and spaces of connection.
Within some rooms of the home, the introduction of the anterooms is hardly noticable.
