Interplay of relief and volumes.
Design of an open single-family residence.
Relief typifies this design. The windows in the light coloured main volume are recessed in the facade with the exception of a large window down to the bottom. This window section cantilevers and thus underlines its important function: admitting light to the entrance area and housing the vertical traffic in the residence.
The entrance area is included in a dark volume that is shoved into the main volume. A pivoting door blends in completely with the facade image.
Water is a connective element in the design, linking the front and back garden. It adds a sensation to the entry patio and brings life to the large windows in the back facade.
How the chimney is integrated into the architecture is also special.
