A House is a Delightful Experience

Stimulating - The Suitcase House is a different experience compared to other hotels. It has the ability to adapt to the occupants and provides a stimulating sense of mystery by asking the user, is this a bare room or is there more to it?

FLOW


Shape - The lines of the Suitcase House replicate the lines found in the forest surrounding the building. The shape however is in stark contrast to the landscape and protrudes out of the mountain.

Engaging - The building requires that the users actively engage with the building in order for it to function. With out user envolvement the House cannot function properly.

Lighting


Texture/Colour - The colour and texture of Suitcase House allow it to almost camoflage itself into its surrounds. There are local timbers and stone used throughout to emphasis the connect of the building with nature.

Presence - Although hidden amongst the trees this building still has a strong presence amongst the landscape. In close proximity to the Great Wall of China, the building has been designed to maximise these views.
