Ülilahe maja! Very cool, little, simple, functional, nicely proportioned, all basic need is fulfilled – greenery, sundeck, different rooms separated by function. Even nice inner airspace is created. Contemporary exteriour materials are used.
don’t you think the bed is way to high to avoid falling off while asleep for some ‘agile’ sleeper.
and , how did the little girl climb up the bed anyway?
Now I’m obviously misleaded – perhaps I didn’t understand the room explication :( Where are the beds, which are too high for little girls, indicated on drawings or photos? And where from do You get, it’s a girl? Seem’s like I’havent seen all the photos or data…
I’m with Enn, what girl? And now that you mention it, what bed?
Interesting how architectural photography tends to focus on capturing cool shapes and colors and less on how the room functions.
Pretty slick design though. I would live there.
Hey! Another Estonian! Cheers!
And indeed, a neat house.
nice clean simple project, but what’s the deal with all the cheese-graters in the interior spaces?
Great design. Simple and elegant.
poor fish…

I’ve only seen this house and the neighbouring from him – and I find they are misteriously beautiful.
