Project Title: Four Eyes House - Coachella Valley
A weekend desert residence for a family and their
dog, the Four Eyes House is an exercise in
site-specific "experiential programming". Rather
than planning the house according to a domestic
functional program, the building was designed
foremost as an instrument for intensifying a
number of onsite phenomenal events.
Four "sleeping towers" are oriented towards four
spatiotemporal viewing experiences: morning
sunrise to the east, mountain range to the south,
evening city lights to the west, and nighttime stars
overhead. Each tower contains a compact
top-floor bedroom, sized only for the bed, and each
with a unique aperture directed towards the view.
These bedrooms are equally-sized and unassigned,
such that the family's sleeping locations can be
rotated based on each individual's desired viewing
experience. Vertical circulation within the towers is
similarly particularized (e.g. ladders, spiral stair,
switchback stair, or shallow-riser stair).
Ground-floor common spaces form a loose
connective field between the discrete tower
volumes, and offer a more permeable relationship
to the landscape.
