A few years back, we referenced a Spanish architecture studio’s work, and asked, ‘how minimal is too minimal?’
We felt like maybe there was too much of a reduction in form and function to be practical, despite how clean and pure the forms were. The firm in question is Fran Silvestre Arquitectos. They have a recent concept project that pushes that envelope even further, with a design that takes a single stroke, and bends it, creating a hyper-sleek form with living quarters at top and bottom.
Called The Sphinx, the concept home is all white, and features a 40-foot vertical ‘kink’ that extends the living space to a large cantilevered overhang.
How would this work, from an engineering standpoint? How does someone get to the upper section? Is this even possible?
We clearly have a lot of questions, and still wonder if this is way too minimal to be livable, or even barely practical.
However, spurring conversation is a huge compliment in the world of architecture, and by that measure, Fran Silvestre Arquitectos is doing an amazing job.
