The house was created during a number of workshops with the client, where different volumes were tested in model and several site visits.The challenge was to locate all rooms on the same level, and trying to fit the house on the sloping ground of this nature site.

It resulted in a narrow and extended house that sits at the very top of the site, hovering on concrete blocks over the rock. In this way the house itself shelters the terrace from unwanted views from the road and neighbors. The movement through the house mimics the initial exploratory walks we had on site prior to building. The master bedroom is placed where one gets the most spectacular view.

The house is fully covered in roofing felt on both roof and facades to give a calm uniform black exterior that contrasts with the crispy white interior. On the inside the wardrobes, lighting and sockets are inset in walls and ceiling to give an even and clean look.

The different functions within the house appearaccording to a hierarchy, moving from public towards the private; from garage, entrance, then kitchen, living room and farthest away bedrooms and bath.
