A building with five flats is situated at the edge of a settlement with many single family homes - right next to a natural preservation zone.
To correspond with the surrounding's scale the building's mass was designed by combining a set-back (red-brown) shape with outstanding (white) plastered building shapes - all responding to neighbors and calming a heterogenous agglomeration of houses.
The concept - thus initiated by 'urban design' - was taken inside and all flats are zoned and shaped by the overall idea of 'dropping back and peeking out'.
In result there are numerous balconies and terraces offering outside space towards the untouched nature, distant views - and to the sun.
