Visit to Felipe Pantone’s Casa Axis

MArch students visited Casa Axis, which today functions as an immersive experiment, a habitable installation, a kind of temporal tunnel where geometry, movement and light intertwine.

Pantone, with his unmistakable style—an explosive blend of kinetic art, digital glitch, op art and futuristic aesthetics—has transformed this house into a work that feels in motion even when still. His visual universe, filled with impossible gradients, patterns and transitions that seem taken from animation software, finds here a perfect architectural support. Suddenly, students found themselves surrounded by surfaces that shift with the light, graphics that appear to move throughout the day, and textures that deceive the eye. Everything breathes Pantone, but not in a decorative way: it is integrated, spatial, enveloping.

The house itself operates as a laboratory of perception. Recently acquired by the artist, it has been carefully transformed into a project where every plane, reflection and shadow is designed to provoke a specific sensation. In some corners the house feels calm, almost silent; in others, it bursts with a visual energy that seems to move alongside you. It is as if the space were designed to remind us that inhabiting is also about play, experimentation and questioning.

The visit also offered a deeper understanding of who Felipe Pantone is, with the added value of meeting him in person. Felipe is an artist who has positioned himself at the intersection of contemporary art, technology and visual culture. His work is not limited to murals or installations; it is a language in itself, built on speed, distortion, chromed reflections and absolute mastery of colour. Pantone works as if he were hacking reality—turning the digital into the physical and vice versa—and Casa Axis is one of the most powerful expressions of this philosophy. Seeing it applied to a domestic space, with such a balance of geometric precision and formal boldness, raises compelling questions: how does art inhabit a home? Can a house be a moving piece? Where does architecture end and installation begin?

Casa Axis reminds us that architecture is not only structure, material or regulation; it is also perception, emotion and play. And that collaborating with artists like Pantone, capable of breaking visual rules so naturally, can open unexpected paths within the discipline.
