Domestic Rituals

This project explores the diversity of the human experience within domestic environments by examining common rituals such as cleansing, sleeping and retreating, gathering, and cooking and eating. It challenges conventional approaches to how we shape our living spaces. Each chapter presents a possible solution for a specific user scenario, serving as a foundation for decisions related to materiality, spatial features, products, circulation, and access to light and views.
