The project
A house that learns to hibernate .
Invernar does not tell of a house — it tells of a way of being in the world when the cold arrives. It is a brief piece, barely 55 seconds, built on an almost binary contrast: charcoal black against infinite white, charred timber on snow. Materials that do not decorate the landscape, but absorb it.
The whole piece rests on a single decision of light. In the middle of that black-and-white world appears one warm note — the amber of the windows at dusk — and precisely because it appears only once, it becomes unforgettable. The name is a verb in the infinitive, because anyone who stays still when winter comes hibernates; the difference is that this house does it better than anyone.
