Residential › Private House

The form of the house is intended to mimic that of other houses in theneighborhood. This is achieved through the steep pitched roof, the illusion of a ‘main house’ with an extension, and the building of the house almost on the boundary lines. The front section of the house, which faces the street, has a continuously gabled, symmetrical, steep-angled roof. The back section ( of the house) extends at a right angle to the front section with a low-angled, unsymmetrical pitched roof. Although the structural design of the house is synonymous with other, less modern, buildings in the area, the uncompromising color and some of the more unconventional details of this house hint at modernity and serve to mirror the self-confident nature of the buildings owner.The dominant elements of the exterior are defined areas covered with dark split, softened by ferns and grasses (still to be planted). The demand for simplicity and strong silhouette is reflected in the absence of usual details such as the roof overhang and window ledges. The homogeneity and sharpangularity of the building are emphasized and unified by the surface texture of the wall plaster and the polyurethane sealed roof.The interior of the house is dominated by the white painted walls and ceilings, doors and built in furniture in harmonious white laminate, and the dark grey concrete floors.The private rooms and spaces are found in the three-story, front section of the house, half of which is built underground. The family rooms, such as the kitchen, dining and living room are situated in the single-story, back section of the building, which flows seamlessly into the garden.The west-facing wall of the house is angled slightly toward the neighbouring building, narrowing the space between the front yard and the back garden and thus subtly separating the private space from the public. The garden, flanked by the single-story conservatory and wooden terrace, is sheltered and not visible from the street.
