A Study of The Meri House
The Meri House was designed by architects Pezo von Ellrichshausen in 2014 for a family in La Floridia, Chile. Initially, the project was a much bigger, more permanent home. However, changes were made at the client’s request. The biggest change was the size, as it is about 1/3rd the size of the initial design. The grid-like structure of the house, having ten rooms and no corridors, is similar to a “shotgun house”, or, for those in New York City, a railway-style apartment, meaning that all rooms open up into one another, every room becomes an enfilade, in a sort of way.
The materiality of the house is mainly pine, and since the structure in itself is a large rectangle, my approach to the model building for the sake of keeping it interesting was to make it more transparent–quite literally. Acrylic sheets were used for the majority of the model, while aluminum dowels imply the four edge corners of the house. All this was done in an attempt to remain as fluid and relatively simplistic as the original architects intended, while still steering away from building a true, hyper-realistic scaled model.

WEEK TWO: PRECEDENT STUDY Glow and Shine (2008) by Angelika Arendt
“Leuchten und Strahlen” or “Glow and Shine” is an art installation by Angelika Arendt that combines her love for her preferred mediums: textile design and fine arts. The installation is made of Polyester and PU-Foam, it also features polyester thread suspended on thin wire hung at different heights. “Glow or shine” creates a sense of playfulness with the choice of colour and the way the string is positioned. In an interior or architectural context, the string can be sucessfully used to divide space and to be “fixed in space” as opposed to the solidness of a wall in between rooms.
