Both volumes are combined by a common surface serving at the same time as a roof for the practice rooms and a terrace/garden for private use.

This concept ensures independent working and living in one integrative building thereby creating a large garden which allows maximum outlook to the surrounding mountains and minimal insight from the public.

Architectural elements like the stairway are experienced as furniture in the living room, thus, space becomes atmosphere.

Bright glass surfaces in the ground floor of the living area permit natural light to cross the living room supporting muk’s special atmosphere.
