House of Rooms challenges boundaries: their physical manifestation, their influence on spatial perception, and their necessity to domesticity. The site, an extremely narrow strip between an aqueduct in the Roman campagna and an existing building, has a magical ’secret’ quality that a typical dwelling would have obliterated. Instead, independent, sculptural ‘rooms’ curiously occupy the space while maintaining its integrity; only the resident can unlock the ‘house’ from the ‘rooms’.
