This project is a house and archive that serves investigative journalists, researchers, and the surrounding neighborhood. Combining living spaces with archives, libraries, workspaces, and communal areas, it functions as both a local information hub and a fellowship program for journalists.

The building’s spatial organization creates a gradient of privacy, with the central courtyard and gathering spaces fostering collective exchange, while fragmented corners and thresholds transition toward more private, individual areas at the periphery. These blurred boundaries between personal and shared spaces enable a dynamic interaction between the intimate and the communal.

At the neighborhood scale, the project bridges past and present, preserving the stories of its transient residents while also serving as a platform for current news and exchange. The public realm flows into the archives and collective areas, making the domestic scale an active participant in community and global discourse.
