About Ro54 Casa unifamiliare
RO54 è una casa unifamiliare costruita su un terreno collinare a Los Angeles. L'abitazione adotta una distribuzione su mezzi livelli (split-level), con solai sfalsati disposti attorno a un vuoto centrale. Le scale a ponte centrali portano luce naturale e connessione visiva fino al livello più profondo, riducendo la distanza fisica e psicologica tra gli ambienti. L'involucro esterno è stato fresato a CNC a partire da un progetto digitale e riprende forme aerodinamiche di ispirazione automobilistica. Uno sbalzo di 16 piedi al secondo piano forma una pensilina d'ingresso. Le piante libere consentono di riorganizzare liberamente gli arredi.

Museum-quality basement grand room. - Design Challenge
- How can we minimize the physical and psychological distances between different chambers in a residential assemblage? Most homes are constructed with rooms arranged in either horizontal or vertical layouts, which often lead to partitioning and separation due to privacy or functional requirements. Walls, doors, and other barriers typically divide these spaces.
- Research
- Our aim for tackling this stoic problem was to reduce the time (Δt) required to access other spaces in the program, physically or psychologically. We looked at the problem on a horizontal plane (xy axis), where we aimed to dissolve all unnecessary divisions. This meant direct visual connection from one space to most other spaces in the house, which shortened the time of accessing information in other parts of the house, therefore reducing its psychological distances.
- Inspiration
- The design vocabulary was informed by streamline automotive aesthetics, proposing every technology in the house to have exponent performance discreetly, allowing the architectural space to deliver a sensory performance.

- The project itself provided for an inclusive engagement with its surrounding space by means of large open spaces and utilization of the ideals of transparency for honest integration into its surrounding community. There is little to hide and what belongs to the house belongs to the neighborhood and conversely, what belongs to the neighborhood is brought into the house. The architecture in turn demands a change of attitude from its occupants towards the community, to be open and to be known.
