The Blind house was built to be a sanctuary for the owner to live in and practice meditation. The house is required to perform a simple function: open plan dining-living, two- bedrooms, and space for meditation. The challenge was the seamless experience of space where each function of the house harmoniously oriented. The presence of architecture articulates the space or its absence to bring the notion of the absent matter.
