House 12
Ithaca
The extensive travels of Odysseus before
he reached his homeland have found expression in this house
design, which evokes the memory of an ancient boat. The house,
within its external protective shell, is laid out on three levels,
with the living rooms occupying the top floor under the vaulted
ceiling. The space between the house and the external skin is
used for circulation at the different levels. Built entirely
of wood, the house is given additional structural stability
by the provision of lateral buttressing.
