ONE GROUND, TWO HOUSES AND THREE OPINIONS
The White House is where the President and First Family of the United States live and work — but it’s also the People’s House, where we hope all Americans feel a sense of inclusion and belonging. _ www.whitehouse.gov

One Ground
Creating one open space with a lake at the geographical center of the site celebrates the concept of People’s House, providing single identity as one ground.
Two Houses
The linear house spanning East-West represents “HOME OF PRESIDENT”. HOME OF PRESIDENT is shaped by adopting architectural languages from ordinary American houses such as pitched roofs and barn houses. The family residence is placed in an attic space which is considered as the most private.
The house spanning North-South is called “HOME OF PUBLIC”. It accommodates diverse public programs, sitting on the naturally sloped pathway guiding visitors towards the lake.
Three Opinions
Press Briefing Room is located at the intersection where the two most private and public houses meet. Such juxtaposition offers new opportunities in relationship between politicians, media and citizens by providng visual connections. Visually sharing vertical landscape between family residence and public space establishes the new identity as ‘People’s House’.
