The Sample House is a project that reimagines the concept of "sample" through its two layers of meaning. The first layer refers to a standard. The work places a standardized house prototype perpendicular to a sloped staircase, breaking the fundamental architectural principle of verticality to gravity. This creates an unusual and dramatic effect. The second layer refers to material samples. On construction sites, small sample houses are often built to showcase various materials, and their random assemblages often result in unexpectedly striking facades. The Sample House explores and presents this kind of "anomalous" house.
