The building includes a
family flat and an office in three floors.
Creating the concept our main
starting point was to make a rationally planned, functional building in high
architectural quality. We aimed to use innovative, unique solutions. The place had a key role
during the design. The inspiring, special site and landscape, the emerging rock
on the neighbouring site had a significant impression on the architecture of
the building. The south-eastern edge of the site is 10 meters higher than the
ground floor's level. To have five elevations of a building here is especially
true for the roof. The rock next to it
and the mine nearby let us associate to a pile of stone as the image of the
building, but in an abstract way. We opened the façades with huge glass
surfaces to make it well liveable.We used the
golden section by the definition of the building's proportions. The building is
both solid and dynamic. The dynamism of the building is strengthened by the
rising site, the off-axis setting of the openings on the ground floor and first
floor façades, the layout of the balcony slab and the asymmetrical design of
the roof. Due to the level difference
between the street and the site the garage entrance opens to the level of the
-1 floor. Garden stairs lead up to the ground level from the site entrance.The ground floor entrance is in connection with the
garden at the north and west. The generous openings of the façade opens up the
interior space of the flat to to the garden. The wooden terrace of the first
floor creates a direct connection to the green. The cladding of the façade
is of large format dark grey ceramic elements. The roof has the same cladding.
