GLITCH HOUSE

RESIDENCE

Spring 2018 | Marty Summers ARC 252 | Design Studio II

Disruptive continuity, an exercise focusing on form making, and the process in which form is understood within a complex set of interactions where the shape of matter and the ability to control its construction lead to new spatial possibilities and embedded intelligence from iterative operations between site, vector, and object. From the exercise, a model design driven by paradigms of coherence, erosion, and interrelations lend to the development of its constituted typologies. The ability to rapidly evaluate and analyze solutions, as well as alter and adapt the design within a fluid process of making and discovering were imperative and necessary in assigning order in the macro and micro scale of the disruptive continuity project and model. Furthermore, design strategies, combinatory operations, and complex systems were methods from the disruptive exercise that were translated into a methodology that would influence the function, form, and aesthetics of the Glitch House project that followed. Elevated and positioned to be a cliffside residence to maximize views and residential experience is Glitch House. Inhabitants and visitors of the residence arrive along an extended driveway with hindered views of the landscape and are greeted by an overhead waterfall that cascades over the house as one pulls into the garage. The Glitch House prides itself of its views to the landscape by designing most spaces with glass encased walls that allow each space its own grand view.

The fluid geometries of disruptive continuity are strategically joined to not only create a cohesive roofing condition in plan, but to also designate and control what takes place beneath. The activity and liveliness of the geometry in the interior space suggest to occupants the level of communication and connectiveness to take place in that space. Areas with ceiling and wall conditions that contain more fluid geometries in its architecture are suggested to be areas of gathering and dialogue, and spaces that possess less fluid geometry and more linear walls suggest spaces of seclusion and intimacy. The complex program and supporting spaces of Glitch House were architectural decisions independently defined, as prescribed by the formal intent and abstract site condition. In continuation, the pixelized mapping onto the site is interpreted to connect the outside with the interior spaces of the house; therefore, the mapping is applied to intentional aspects of the interior to create unity and order in its chaos.
