Heartbeat : Vulnerability in architectural design, a special appearance full of nuances.

By using a forced perspective, with both emptiness and form, access to the house is released.

The entrance hall is centrally located and accessible from both the left, private entrance and the right, public entrance. A good organization of the main functions on the ground floor has also been ensured, such as the seating area at the rear with a view of the backyard and the kitchen at the front, with a patio. This division is based on the orientation and location of the house.


There are three spacious bedrooms on the first floor, each with its own indoor roof terrace. The bathroom is also located on this floor. The void on the stairs side provides a connection with the ground floor and increases the spatial feeling.


The playfulness of the lines is continued in both the structure and views of the facade. The use of different materials, such as cement-colored facade material for the plinth and white facade plaster for the floating volume, creates a special appearance.


The design of this house shows how vulnerability can be transformed into architectural beauty. By carefully considering orientation, location and integration of daily life, a unique design has been created that is both functional and aesthetic.


Interaction with residents is an important aspect of sustainability and makes them an integral part of the solution. By taking their needs into account and creating a harmonious living environment, the home becomes not only a place to live, but also a place to grow and develop.


The use of different materials and shapes creates nuances in the design, making the house stand out from other buildings in the area. The forced perspective and the various openings give the house character and invite exploration.
