The house on the meadow is built on the site of an old horse farm in the resident’s home area. It was clear in the beginning that the surrounding landscape had to become part of the house and its spirit. The narrow and long frames of the buildings make this possible.
The plot is located in the area of farm economic centers. An exception permit was applied for the new building. The plot is practically bordered on all sides by a rural field and meadow landscape. The owner of the house himself comes from nearby and did farm work in the area as a child. When the horse farm on that plot remained empty, the current owner wanted to buy the plot and build a detached house on it.
With three separate masses, a small-scale courtyard area is formed that connects to the landscape, as well as long viewing axes to the interior spaces. The main house has the biggest volume with its two floors. Garage and sauna department are in one floor, garage separately as its own and sauna attached wit a glass corridor to the main house.
View axes in the northeast-southwest direction open to the kitchen-living room space of the building from both directions, along which the interiors are built. Gracefulness has been sought with the narrowness of the masses, but also with the facade materials. The long sides have plastered surfaces and the ends have slender corten steel plates.
The plaster façade continues into the interior, all the light toned walls are exactly with the same treatment as in the outdoors. Together with dark wood and white flooring tile the ambiance is elegant.
The starting points have not been directly sought from Italy (Tuscany, etc.), but the feeling in the house, especially in summer, is as if straight from there, when the sun shines and the water of the swimming pool shimmers and reflects the meadow in all its splendor.
