Winter Metaverse House by Andrés Reisinger and Alba de la Fuente

After success start of house concepts in Metaverse in 2021 by Krista Kim and its representation as an exhibition pavilion the idea of creating virtual living started evolving. Here is Andrés Reisinger and Alba de la Fuente designing modernist house in a frosty metaverse landscape. At some point they can easily swap it during the holidays with Krista’s Mars House

“Winter House is stacked on a large concrete slab to create a "floating floor", underneath which a glass box houses a chunky concrete staircase that leads visitors from the front door into the house.” writes Dezeen

“Argentinian digital artist Reisinger created the house together with Madrid-based architect De la Fuente to reflect the early 1960s projects of industrial designer Dieter Rams, while also exploring winter in the metaverse.” Echoing with functional principles of Le Corbusier “Reisinger explained that the house's expansive windows intend to connect the inside and outside spaces, all of which have been rendered with a subtle splash of pink.”
