House With a Sloping Wall

In their Type B and Type F apartments, Moisei Ginzburg and the Stroykom team manipulated ceiling heights to divert volume from sleeping areas to the living area where it could be better appreciated during waking hours. 

​

Inspired by Hiroyuki Asai's long-forgotten 1971 Mochizuki House, this project attempts the same by manipulating the inclination of the wall separating day and night areas. The wall is inclined 45° to return exactly half the bedroom volume to the living area. 

​

Useable volume is preferable to volume for volume's sake. Bleachers House is a variant that allows a degree of functionality for the volume returned.
