This thesis investigates how a building can operate as a small city through nested spatial relationships. The project is organized as a sequence of volumes moving from private to public, connected by an inhabited spine that structures movement and spatial continuity. Within each volume, a “house within a house” strategy establishes layered zones of privacy, where outer spaces are more open and collective while inner spaces are more enclosed and controlled. In this way, the building functions as an interior urban condition, where rooms act as discrete elements and circulation organizes their relationships.
The project is guided by a simple geometric system that organizes space through position and hierarchy rather than a fixed program. This allows spaces to adapt over time while maintaining clarity and order. By working across scales, from room to building to urban condition, this thesis proposes architecture in which relationships between spaces generate form and experience from within.
