The two-level single-family house, offering a panoramic view of the Sea on one side and the mountains on the other.
The idea was therefore to open up the house as much as possible and let the scenery of the forest be the sole decoration of the interior by framing certain views of the forest and to create an open plan that allowed the different functions of the house to melt together in one continuous flow on the two levels.
We wanted to create a combination of utility, purity and a quiet beauty. we used natural materials and earthy colors to add soul and history to shape rather than a polished and decorated beauty. Combined with the pure white walls, the house aims to be a sensuous spatial experience.

In designing of the exterior elevations, a framing element is used to capture a segment of the landscape scenery. The interior of the house is open and light. The living space is connected with the garden and the forest and a flood of light is entering the house.
All the edges of the different volumes are made without any eaves, the material dissolves in the air. This reinforces the abstract appearance of the sculpture. Just as a wanderer, caught in a thunderstorm, will seek shelter under a fallen tree, the inhabitants will find protection in this house. The different aspects of study slowly grow into an actual building. The building becomes part of the poetry, part of the memory, it becomes meaningful.
