House for Penelope
Annotation
Return to antiquity, the epic Odyssey. We will design a simple space that will try to capture the emotions of Odysseus' wife Pénelope, who has been waiting for him for 10 years. A house that must really be near the queen. Large and extensive. It is really on a rock so that from a height Penelope can notice the couple, and by the sea, as Odiseus a sea soldier, and returns from the water. The building contains long, high but narrow walls, staircases that symbolize Penelope's weight and waiting for him to walk down the narrow corridor, feeling the weight pushing him, but raising his head up or looking straight, she notices rays of hope, and will wish for the dear husband to return as soon as possible.
