HOUSE FOR A COLLECTOR | Cuac Arquitectura

Every collection is a theater for souvenirs. Behind this show there is always an appropriate setting able to order an infinite world of experiences that have been translated into objects. Every collection is a way to fill a void that will satisfy the desire, to occupy a wall or fill a bookshelf. All collection builds a house. A house that is a collection and a collection that is a house.

All collection always brings together two distant extremes of passion and order. Emotional selects the object among thousands of objects, the brain puts it in a certain place, that for which it was elected. It is a double movement that catches the collector unstoppable process.

Every collection needs a space to be accumulated, to be protected and to be exhibited. There is no collection without shelf, without chest in which to deposit the most beloved treasures. The tension between this unit and the limited space available determine the reform project in this apartment for an avid collector.

White and floating furniture is wrapped in a painted black space allowing the housing to become a small cinema to the delight of our collector. A collector inside the collection has been collected.
