Wall House II by John Hejduk, designed in the 1970s and realized in Groningen in 2001, is a visionary exploration of space, memory, and the passage of life. At its heart stands a monumental wall, both barrier and connector, through which every transition between rooms must pass—turning ordinary movements into symbolic rituals.

Vibrant colors and sculptural forms give the house a dreamlike quality, while its sequence of intimate and open spaces mirrors the rhythms of human experience.

More than a dwelling, Wall House II is an allegory in concrete, a retreat that invites its inhabitants to reflect on time, transition, and the meaning of home itself.
