Deep overhangs and thick, solid walls mimic the heaviness of the boulders surrounding the home and passively conditions the interiors through both cooling shaders and thermal heating. The entry of the home is punctuated by voids on opposing sides of the circulation, providing relief, views, and cross ventilation. The voids and forms used in the design create a forced perspective, further emphasizing the relationship between the structure and the landscape. The architects at Zyme Studios design the Oscillation House as a heavy mass to exemplify the significance of the desert landscape in comparison to human form, with the user being driven through an artificial canyon that builds tension before the release of entry. Oscillation house is shaped as a natural landform The design concept behind the dwelling was to create a structure that would integrate into its surroundings, with a triangular footprint that maximizes the natural features of the landscape. The project stands as an example of how architecture can blend seamlessly with its natural environment, in this case a desert region in the American West known for its natural rock formations. Los Angeles-based architecture practice Zyme Studios takes to the deserts surrounding Yucca Valley to design its Oscillation House.
