The design was strongly influenced by the expanse flat landscape and the
permanently existing wind. The object is filling in the property rather
than filling out the property. It defines its own surrounding space by
playing with the visual links between interior and exterior, private and
public. The single-storey structure is divided into residential and sleeping
units, respectively, with a corridor connecting them. On one side of
this corridor are boxlike structures that contain secondary rooms and
provide structure to the space. This layout creates five specific
exterior rooms, a roofed forecourt, a breakfast terrace, a residential
courtyard sheltered from the wind, a rear veranda and a light well for
the residential basement. The principle of zones is strengthened by the
use of varying materials and surfaces. A wide variety of interior
situations is thus created, the open fireplace provides a strong accent
in the living room, which flows seamlessly into the residential
courtyard.
