Designer's statement

The client bought the site together with existing construction permit for the generic project. Demand was not to change construction permit but change the elements of the house to suit his family, sustainable factor and position the openings toward the views.

The volume of the house is 6x11 metres, has 42 degrees pitched roof and external dimensions and material types are the ones from the existing project.

Materials – the elements such as stone, wooden columns, façade patterns are taken from local environment and reinstates dialogue with the surrounding typology.

Interior organisation suits the needs of the family and is very rational. Central staircase rotates around the fireplace that heats both floors. There are 3 bedrooms and bath with sauna on top floor with minimal corridor. Ground floor is one space room with kitchen; dinning and living, storage is under the staircase. The level is partly lower so window shelves act as sofa with views toward the mountains.
