Open House is a home to a rural South African family that embraces African philosophies on humanity. The design emanated from the idea of creating an "outdoor house" that can provide shade and allow for interaction with fellow villagers during the day and be closed off after sun set. The house consists of moving walls, some retractable roofs and tilt up walls that serve as sun shading during the day when the rooms are open. The house leans towards kinetic architecture whereby the moving parts create new and dynamic spaces depending on the preferred arrangement on a given day.
