This study aimed to show the possibility of approaching Steven Holl's Stretto House as a vital space identical to the flow of our consciousness through Bergson's philosophy of life by understanding the expression of Bergsonian duration in the house. For the Purpose of this study, Bergson's concept of aesthetic duration was considered and duration in the Stretto House design process was analyzed, Based on the study's findings, duration according to Bergson's expression of reality in the Stretto House was further analyzed. The results of the analysis of duration in the Stretto House design process showed that duration is expressed as phenomenological time through the continuity and movement of the perceptual phenomena of space, sound, light and material that reflected Merleau-Ponty's anchoring and Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta. The results of the analysis of duration as an expression of reality in the Stretto House showed that duration is expressed as real time, as reality's continuous and diverse movement of vital duration, through the image and rhythm based on the intuitive recollection of the real self, sound, light and pond. Consequently, it was shown that the Stretto House could be understood as a vital space in which a vital movement of duration identical with the flow of our consciousness is expressed through the expression of reality in Bergson's philosophy of life. This study is meaningful as a foundational study of the experiential space of phenomena through Bergson's philosophy of life.

The purpose of this study is to grasp how B la Bartok's 'Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta' was expressed in 'Stretto House' of Steven Holl. In conclusion, it is found that phenonenological temporality was expressed through the following equation: (equation omitted). More specifically, it is clarified that the stretto of the musical piece was expressed in the spatial overlapping of the house; the inversion, in the form change of the plan and section of the guest house; the symmetrical proportion and Golden Section, in the same proportion of the house section; the melody of theme, in the shape of the roof. This shows the possibility of approach to the substance of interior and architectural design through music.
