Chouso House

The general idea was defined from the primary analysis when first visiting the site. The land presented great natural surroundings, overflowing with clusters of trees and rocks. Furthermore, we were also bestowed with fragments of history that go back to old folk traditions. Namely, as the land was primarily used for animal pastures, we found a threshing floor that was used not only for threshing, but also where people socialised. It is from this first impression that the concept for this project comes to us, Casa Chouso.

“CHOUSO” means a fenced or closed area; hedge grown by shepherds to hold the cattle.
