Time
Time changes every house. Materials age, spaces gather memories, and ideas from the past shape what comes next. This is where architecture becomes part of history, influencing new designs and continuing the life of the house.
When a house is first built, it reflects the ideas of its time.
The materials, proportions, and details all belong to a specific moment in history.
Over time, these ideas become part of architectural eras. You can see this in older homes — the thick walls of Victorian houses, the openness of mid-century modern homes, or the clean lines of contemporary design.
Each period reflects how people lived, what they valued, and what was possible to build.
These ideas do not disappear. They influence what comes next.
Architects and designers study existing houses to understand what works and what does not. They learn from past proportions, materials, and spatial relationships.
New houses are shaped by these observations. In this way, every house becomes part of a larger story.
Time also changes the house itself. Materials wear. Surfaces fade. Light marks its path across walls year after year. The house slowly records the life lived inside it.
This is how a house gains meaning. Not just through its design, but through its existence.
Time connects the house back to the beginning.
The ideas that shaped this house will influence the next one.
The loop continues.
