The clients brief asked for a new single-family house in the parents’ garden, situated next to a small forest.
The drawn-out hexagon shaped volume responds to the contextual complexities of the plot, its steep topography and the constricting building laws. Its placement along the north boarder and the generously open facade to the south-west allow for optimal sunlight exposure and a high energy efficiency. The southeast facade responds to the proportions of the parents’ house next door. Together they form an ensemble. The building divides the garden in to communal zones and niches for the private retreat of the two parties.
A meandering exposed concrete wall organises the plan on each floor. In the double-height dining area where these walls overlap, the representative parts of the building are linked to the more intimate ones on the first floor. Both roof and garden terraces are connected to this central space and are easily accessible from every room.
The copper panels and the glazing emphasize the crystalline appearance of the new house. The exposed concrete plinth evolves along the topography and transforms from a canopy roof into a cantilevered terrace.
