You'll never look at your own four walls the same way again.

The gem-like Wall House re-imagines one of the most basic elements of the private home—the wall—breaking it down into a series of four layers (concrete cave, stacked shelving, milky shell, soft skin) in between which the different spaces of the house slip.

The Wall House is certainly not the first Hometta house to get people talking. But we love the fact that in addition to covetous homebuyers pondering the plan set, we've been contacted by architecture students who are studying the Wall House in school and want to learn more. 

Previously built in Santiago de Chile, Wall House was awarded the 2007 AR Award for Emerging Architecture and selected by Architectural Record as one of the 2008 Record Houses.

The Wall House's sheltering outer skin (made from a material commonly used for greenhouses) changes its appearance based on changing light condition and time of day. 

As stunning as the Wall House is on the outside, it's equally as livable and user-friendly on the inside:

Something about the combination of progressive architecture with human scale and friendliness, plus an innovative relationship between the inside and the outside, puts this blogger in mind of the venerable Eames house. Anyone else see the connection?
