Entry Description:

Sun House project is Cited Winner of 20+ 10+ X World Architecture Community Award 2008.
The sun regulates our life, in everything we do. So, why not think of a house that is based on the variation in the rays in the various rooms? People living in the house could change the configuration of it whenever they wanted, perhaps with the changing seasons or simply for fun, by moving walls and furniture.
The system for obtaining this, is to change the space of the house, forcing the members of the family to create their house and their areas.
