interstice

One of my favorite blogs, Archidose, offers us a wonderful project exploring interstitial spaces. The space between things. The thickness of building materials.

How can designers exploit the seemingly ordinary, mundane space between?

The firm Airesmateus gives us one idea, as they take advantage of the large interstice offered by an old winery and convert it into a residence. The design causes an almost dangerous feeling "teetering" of new private volumes cantilevered into the large open, public space. The effect can only be achieved with the thickness of those walls.

Which leads me to think about a project in the works which exploits the poche of precast concrete panels and home design. More later.
