House for One Person

Opening context:
The Family, House for a Small Family, House for a Couple

Conflict

Once a household for one person is part of some larger group, the most critical problem which arises is the need for simplicity.

Resolution

Conceive a house for one person as a place of the utmost simplicity: essentially a one-room cottage or studio, with large and small alcoves around it. When it is most intense, the entire house may be no more than 300 to 400 square feet.

Closing context:
Your Own Home, Farmhouse Kitchen, Window Place, Teenager’s Cottage, Old Age Cottage
