The wish of the client, to give the young son a private,
independent area, becomes the main topic of the design and organizes the arrangement
of the rooms in the house. The three diversely
proportioned structures are adapted in size and height to the different uses
and accommodate the living areas, connected by a low “spine”, in which the side
rooms and the kitchen as well as the stairs are located.
The roofs of the structures are unequally
pitched and also slope in different directions. Each structure offers room for one distinct area of life. The
structure, which opens generously to the garden, harbours the living area with
the connected kitchen and is the meeting point of the family. The children’s
room is located in the structure closed to the street which opens to a small
courtyard. The raised structure allows to let the master’s bedroom and the
guest bedroom to float above the garden. The car as well as the building
equipment are located below.
All structures (with the exception of the
equipment room and the spine, which are visually firmly connected to the earth)
are raised from the adjacent level and thereby establish a clear boundary to
the garden, because the house shall remain urban, surrounded by a garden as a
lower lying area, which wants to be entered intentionally.
By this arrangement the building
integrates into the surrounding divided building development, established by
suburban turn of the century villas and small apartment buildings of a more
recent date. The
living areas are all oriented to the garden, they are closed to the street by
not having any windows there. Only the study above the garage is oriented to
the street. In contrast to the surrounding buildings a restraint towards the
public space, which is consistent with the wish of the clients to achieve
privacy.
All the windows in the cubes are guided
over the corners and thereby compose generous and, most notably for the
vertical glazing, interesting optical extensions of the rooms. From a lounge corner in the living room and from the master’s
bedroom one can see directly to the stars. The spine is completely glazed on
the narrow side and directs the view in the direction of the movement axis to
the garden.
The varying surface design of the flooring
in the interior and of the façade supports the design idea. The fettled cubes clearly stand out from the base covered with
anodized aluminium plates and the spine.
The house is as a low
energy house and is heated by a heat pump with three thermal ground probes. It is also
completely equipped with panel heating.
