can a house be a piece of art?

Hi,
I am not talking about famous architects and architecture - I am talking about inspired people who reconstructed a house in Marrakech and developed a "place of inspiration", an "oasis for the senses" as an hommage to Marrakech - they dived into the culture, developed a color code, a music concept, a concept for the odeurs, every detail was designed and produced by artisans, the whole house was constructed without electricity, the traditional way and they also integrated the tradition of story telleing in the architectual concept - now is it finally a piece of concept art?
For me it is! See pic attached.

Please let me know if house can be called "piece of art" and who has the right to declare it art - what makes it art?

Looking forward to your comments.

Cheers
Andrea

I would say "yes" totally. I was at Taliesin West and have been inside many of Frank Lloyd Wright's homes and they are art.

Context makes art. Check out Gregor Schnieder's work 'Haus Ur'
