Rose House by

Sergey Makhno Studio 

Rose is a guesthouse made of concrete, weathering steel, glass and water. The steel exterior seems private and fully immersed in the wild nature, whilst the inner part of the building is opposite – open and fragile due to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The layout is designed as a freely flowing space with transforming functional zones. An owner can move the walls and convert the space into one social ground floor for parties

The name Rose came from blooming red walls. In order to water a concrete flower the architect created an artificial pool bordering with a terrace from the one side. In the mountain house water becаme a material of the same importance as concrete, glass and steel. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide the interaction of nature and the interior. Seasons change is considered as a part of Rose. Resembling the life cycles of a flower – the nature blooms and withers away in the house.

Pouria Khojastehpay are mysterious images described by the artist as “Futures of the recent past. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone”. Dystopian ruins of Brutalist structures scattered on desolate landscapes seem to be all that is left of our time in Earth. Khojastehpay is a Dutch/Iranian artist and photographer, currently living in The Netherlands. He was born in 1993 in Shiraz, Iran before spending a large part of his childhood in a Dutch refugee camp.
