Structures embody the fluidity of time, reflecting the cyclical nature of human life, construction, and inhabitation.

Discarded “imperfect” blocks of quarried limestone are repurposed through minimal processing, stacked, and wire-cut in three dimensions to form an economical and sustainable path of construction. Drawing with a long graphite stick and using the same twist of a wrist to rotate model stones through a write cutter, the Portuguese stone erodes under sea air, embodying a dynamic, relational phenomenon.

Modules emerge by removing orthogonal pieces from the stone’s thickness. Orthogonal interiors contrast with the organic exterior, scaled to human proportions, ensuring features stay within easy reach for elderly residents.

Vibrations of friendship and life ripple through the linear arrangement. Inhabiting the building becomes a journey of discovery, as glimpses of nature fill the nooks between spaces of activity and rest.

Nestled among dense trees and shaped by wind, vegetation, and water, the building flows with the terrain, connecting its highest elevations. Plaster and fabric study models guide units across the landscape’s contours, weaving them into the ecological rhythms of the site.
