The Habka House project aims to reveal itself through simplicity. However, to achieve this, it resorts to the complex articulation of three indicators that roughly configure the site and its context.
1. The topography, with a slope of about 6 meters towards the back of the site;
2. Access to the plot through the midpoint of the terrain;
3. Environmental preservation area.
Access to the plot at its median level established ground zero, the starting point for the appropriation of the land. It was from there that the design strategies were naturally triggered.
The main entrance is precisely through the intentionally designed void circumscribed by the base. The concrete base, therefore, expresses strength and solidity, linking it to the site and making it inseparable from it. The house's base consists of two main blocks. The first emerges from the topography. It rises at the highest point of the terrain and gradually reveals itself up to the main entrance. The second, exactly fifteen meters away from the first, opens up to the greenery, to the preservation area, and accommodates social and recreational dynamics.
Lastly, a suspended metal piece delicately rests on the concrete base and projects towards the environmental reserve. It encompasses the entire intimate area of the house, ensuring the necessary privacy for the family. This architectural piece reveals itself as a bridge connecting opposite ends. When the gaze falls upon it, it leads to traversing it from the street towards the forest. It serves, therefore, as a connection link between humans and nature.
