The Concept

The Pillow House represents a study into residences with radial distribution of their internal spaces. Following archaic models which can still be found in rural populations across Equatorial Africa and the Amazonian area, the central reference point-principally dedicated to an open-pit fireplace, has here been associated with the collection and processing of meteoric waters. This sums up their two valences - usefulness and symbolism - within the same space.
