The project explores the phenomenon of loneliness in our society – not only as a condition arising from the absence of a supportive network, but also as something rooted in a desire for solitude. This exploration is grounded in the case study of La Loca, an elderly transgender woman who became a source of inspiration for the project through her experience of loneliness, social exclusion, and oppression – but also of independence. Research shows that loneliness poses significant risks to health. Our expectations around relationships are shaped by culture, economic circumstances, and personality. Life events such as relocation or loss disrupt social structures. The way we think and feel about these experiences determines whether loneliness is seen as temporary or permanent. The question of when we want to be alone, and to what extent a communal model should be considered the default, seems especially relevant today in light of increasing loneliness.  How can solitude be expressed architecturally? Where do people seek to be alone – and when? This project seeks to respond to these questions through architecture: a building that acknowledges the dual nature of human longing – with one entrance for retreating into solitude, and another for stepping into togetherness. The house is intended to allow people to experience different forms of loneliness, solitude, and community – to find clarity about how they want to live.
