A young family with two kids. A clear program. Low budget. Into a beautiful fruit garden.
FGN house is a project for a single family dwelling. The concept is to bring the garden inside the house so we thought about three simple shapes that shift in the garden producing terraces and patios facing the surrounding landscape. These three boxes are linked by the planar roof where a line touches the edges of each box creating a particular plot.
The dwelling itself is composed of two levels: an open “outside house” on the ground floor with views of the garden and a closed “inside house” on the first story with a unique view to the sunset.
The house is going to be built soon and we conceived it all in concrete with two different molding panels: smooth for the structural elements and texturized using OSB panels for the facades. The outdoor facades are improved with smart details such as the window system where the window frame is enforced with larch wood vertical elements and mirror strips reflecting the outdoor garden.
