Why should one have two houses?
Can the house you live in be the same as your leisure house?
A four member family wanted a pleasant living environment that offered privacy, seclusion and inspiration. More than for shopping opportunities they longed for the proximity of woods.Orientation dictated a prolonged shape with a 40 meter long stone ‘defense’ wall as a border between private and public areas. House opens in a form of a large atrium that connects living with utilitarian spaces. Special point was made in making house ‘invisible’ on the outside and bright on the inside.
