The Naked and the Nude

The rooftop house is for a family which has nothing to hide. The organization of its functions is translated into its physical build. These boxes (rooms) are lifted and connected to each other through a system of stairs and a forest of columns. The material and colour is chosen for aesthetic values, hinting the red-light district and adds an eye-catching effect.
