DESCRIPTION
The basic idea behind this project was to construct a small exhibition building for the French artist Jean Suzanne. The design is based on his linocut entitled Clivage sablonneux I, which means sandy cleft or division. The geometric shapes of the artwork do not appear static, but rather as if they are in motion. This arrangement of rectangles was the inspiration to create a building with the pattern as a floor plan.

LOCATION
The house is to be located in the middle of the Japanese Northern Alps to the west of the Open Air Museum "Utsukushigahara" at an altitude of around 2000 meters above sea level. This location is something very special for the artist - in 1993, Suzanne won the Henry Moore Prize for his sculpture "La Breche", which has been on display at the Open Air Museum ever since. The house can be reached via a footbridge from the museum, which leads directly to the entrance of the house on the east side. The house can be viewed from all sides along a gravel path.
