This project looks at the concept of community and privacy, its unique interpretation in the Cuban family, and how all of that is at risk. visiting Cuba, what I noticed was communes of hyper-extended families living in one home, and a communal space called the family room where the domestic labour occurs. It is defined by objects such as trophies and portraits that tell stories of long lineages. The more western model supports the exportation of this labour outside the family. While the Latin model gives the family the responsibility of nurturing and educating. These types of interactions tend to happen in the common family room, so that became both the structural and metaphorical core of the home. A system was designed to reflect the temporality that comes with the size of what is considered family with paneled bedrooms meant to be built and brought down, but also a grand room that encompasses a large courtyard, a room that stays no matter the time. This large family room will hold the objects that tell the families stories in its walls and create pockets for the labour to take place, an architecture intended to solidify the importance of the Cuban family.
