Most modern buildings try to isolate us completely from climate.

Ryue Nishizawa does the opposite.

In House in Shochikucho and Moriyama House, circulation becomes something in-between:
neither fully inside nor outside.

Instead of treating corridors as wasted space, these projects turn movement through the house into a climatic experience.

Light.
Wind.
Temperature.
Season.

I explored this idea in my latest newsletter issue:
“Comfort Gradients.”

Comment “comfort” and I’ll send you the link.

This house has NO corridors!

You must negotiate the outdoors.

Ryue Nishizawa designed the Moriyama House as a collection of separate rooms connected through gardens and patios instead of corridors.

Which means every transition is exposed to:
Rain.
Wind.
Temperature.

Comfort here isn’t controlled.

It emerges as you move.

Comment comfort and I’ll send you the newsletter link where I break down architecture, climate and thermal comfort.

Most architects try to eliminate discomfort.

This house does the opposite.

Instead of one stable interior, it creates a gradient of conditions
where some spaces are controlled
and others are allowed to fluctuate.

Not inside.
Not outside.
Something in between.

And the kitchen?

In the unconditioned space!

Because comfort isn’t fixed
it’s something we negotiate as we move.

Comment comfort and I’ll send you my upcoming design guideline.

Corridors are disappearing.

For decades, we designed homes around circulation.
Space you pay for… just to move through.

Now that space is being absorbed into the rooms.
Every square meter starts doing something.

But there’s a trade-off.

Would you accept accessing your bedroom directly from your living room?
Or do you prefer a smaller space… with a corridor?

It’s not.

It’s about trade-offs.

Make one space better… another one gets worse.

And one of the biggest misconceptions?

It’s not about grouping wet rooms.
It’s about stacking them.

That’s where most projects start to fall apart
especially on the ground and top floors.

Form follows comfort.

Comment “process” and I’ll send you how I approach this.

I just hate how much I love this building.

I’ve spent years arguing against glass towers.
They ignore climate. They rely on systems.

And yet… this one got me.

There’s something in the way it handles light that feels almost alive.

Would you accept this trade-off?

Comment "daylight" and I’ll send you my guide.

Is this a house… or just the idea of one?

Smiljan Radić’s Prism House doesn’t try to belong.
It feels placed. Almost accidental.

And maybe that’s the point.

What do you think, would you live here?

Bosco Verticale is often called the pinnacle of sustainable architecture.

But is it?

Don’t get me wrong.
It’s a brave engineering experiment.

But sustainability isn’t about piling on more systems, more structure, more technology.

It’s about reducing consumption first.

Covering towers with trees might look ecological.

But that doesn’t necessarily make it the best example of sustainable design.

It might even be like saying Messi is the best tennis player in the world.

Something is just off in that statement.

Big budgets are actually a trap for architects.

When houses get very large, they often lose the domestic scale that makes them feel like homes.

In Casa Carol, my compatriot and friend Lucas Muñoz from .lak solves this beautifully.

Instead of one massive volume, the house is broken into smaller pieces almost like a small village.

The restrained material palette keeps everything calm and cohesive.

And just when the architecture risks becoming too serious…

there’s a slide running along the stairs.

Which might be the most important design decision in the whole house.

It looks green.

Vertical gardens.

Renewables.

Advanced systems.

But if you start with a glazed high rise in a high solar radiation climate…

Are you reducing demand?

Or compensating for it?

Sustainability is not about decorating consumption.

It is about reducing it.

Form should follow comfort. Not spectacle.

What do you think?
