»Soutenu« is sculptural architecture, providing multiple space qualities by changing its cubical form through a single dynamic cut.

The basic form of »Soutenu« is a cuboid. Through a single dynamic cut across all three dimensions (floor, walls, ceiling), the cuboid splits into three contiguous areas. The spaces volume can be extended by turning the cuboid open on two axis points. Thus it's space its flexible and can be adjusted to current weather conditions. The surfaces created by the cut act as space-dividing elements. This allows new spaces which offer additional possibilities of use. Shelters, terraces or rain- and sunroofs are created, thereby concealing other spaces.
