From the architects: House I is a hybrid between a permanent illusion and a limited existence; between a monolithic —and at the same time heavy— appearance and a semi-translucent interior.

House I的设计目的更多是用于观赏，而非使用，大多数时间，这座建筑都处于电影镜头之下，与其他房屋不同，在建筑内部事件的发生被精确的设计在限定的时间内。House I的墙面与屋顶是由某个元素不断重复而形成的，这一元素的重复次数甚至比最初设定得数量还要多，这样可以在镜头下拍摄出更具景深的视觉效果。
House I was designed to be seen more than to be used. To be seen and multiple time registered by a film camera with anamorphic lenses. Unlike other houses, in its interior, events were precisely designed with a limited temporal duration.
House I has one single profile made out of one continuous —and over structured— element which defines walls and roof. This single element is repeated more times than what is strictly necessary, making the camera believe that there is more depth than what it exists in reality.
From the exterior, the house is meant to be seen only from afar. It appears in the landscape as an opaque and monolithic object —with uncanny typological similitudes with the construction that normally surround the area. However, the excessive symmetry places the doubt in the aforementioned similarities.

Seen from the interior, the house looks lighter than any other house. The wooden cladding allows natural light to go through, but not a single glance. What happens in the interior has to remain a secret, that was the only requirement of the brief.

几天之后，电影主角站在远处，静静地观望着这座建筑被烧毁。
After a few days, House I was intentionally burned while it was seen carefully from afar.
From the director:
In a distant land on the southernmost tip of the world lives Tamara, a twelve-year-old girl who has been raised in a cult led by the charismatic Miguel. As she becomes a young woman, she receives instructions for her mission in life: to carry a holy child, fathered by Miguel himself. In this dark fairytale, Tamara will realize that what she wants for her life is not what Miguel has chosen for her, and her disobedience will have consequences she could never have imagined as she desperately tries to gain her freedom.
