A Reinforced Concrete Home for an Active Deaf Family of Four.

This residence was designed for a couple and their two children, an active deaf family, with a focus on visual communication. The layout minimizes blind spots, ensuring that all spaces are visibly connected. For moments when privacy is desired, curtains can be drawn to create separations. The home incorporates features tailored to the family’s needs, such as consistent indoor lighting that allows for clear visibility of sign language, designated spaces for written messages, and vibrant optical elements that bring a lively sense of color to their daily lives—almost as if music could be sighted.

Through extensive discussions with the couple, we carefully considered what would best suit their lifestyle. This included solutions that are typically unfeasible in standard homes due to sound-related concerns, as well as addressing challenges and inconveniences they had faced in conventional housing. By exploring new ideas together, the design process sought to resolve concerns associated with hearing impairments and to create a home that enhances both comfort and functionality.
