home

architizer one rendering challenge 2020 finalist

A home surrounded by war, a clock marking a ticking bomb, a desk displaying a ceasefire agreement.

Growing up, we are told to believe in peace as a tangible truth and are promised a world that has meaning, yet we find ourselves entrapped in an unfamiliar and uncertain reality.

Irrespective of the atrocities experienced, the family home remains the constant space that validates the narratives and memories of the past; it reminds us of our resilient roots.

The home represents a new, powerful version of ourselves; a version that continues lighting up the Christmas tree inside with the shattered windows and doors.

This home will once again unite its family members who will rebuild what has been shattered in hopes of honoring peace and justice.
