Design Intent
A capsule within which one can experience a journey through a forest path flanked by interesting shadows from the glass skin.

We wanted to interpret the Smartome as a non-conventional space where the experience of being in a natural environment is as enriching as the dynamic geometry of the enclosure.

Process
The space inside costantly changes in height and perspective as one traverses through the 'S' form. The topography of the site allows the variation of height within the Smartome.

The 'S' is divided into four parts so as to enable easy fabriaction and allow entry and exit of air in between the four modules on the top and sides through metal louvers.

The diagrid is configured with steel sections which behave as a structural cage.
