A HOUSE FOR EXTROVERTED INTROVERTS

Why should one have two houses?
Can the house you live in be the same as your leisure house?

A four member family wanted a pleasant living environment that offered privacy, seclusion and inspiration. More than for shopping opportunities they longed for peace and quiet, the proximity of woods and its wild spirits.

Orientation dictated a prolonged shape with a 40 meter long stone ‘defense’ wall as a border between private and public areas. House opens in a form of a large atrium that connects living with utilitarian spaces – the former extending seamlessly to the outdoor into the protected courtyard that features a sun-terrace, a swimming pool and wast grass areas. Special point was made in making house ‘invisible’ on the outside and bright on the inside.
