About
Narrative Home I is based on the climactic scene from the 1942 novel The Stranger by Albert Camus. The sequence of events in this scene is a clear linear narrative. The movement of Meursault and the sequence he encounters during his walk are translated into an architectural project.

The resulting home design is organized around a central linear outdoor walkway. The rooms in the home are generously spaced apart from each other and are connected by the outdoor walkway, creating a home that carefully blurs our understanding of indoor and outdoor space. The home is simultaneously closed and open, private and public, interior and exterior
