THE SCREEN BUILDING / A HOUSE FOR A COLLECTOR

by Marina Bebana

In this project I had to make a cabinet for stamps. I ended up making a cabinet with transparent material in the shape of an open album from above. This idea came from the stamp album because is the only place where can be storage. Taking the idea from the cabinet I started designing a building with screens inside which would start from the ground floor and end on the first floor. The ground floor will be a Library-Pub because my client is a writer and wanted to combine things that he likes (beer-books) in one place. The screens there are bookshelves. In the house the screens are like walls, they separate rooms and also a place for furnitures. The staircase to go to the house is inside of a screen and ends in the middle of the house where there is a void that looks down at the bar.
