An intensive and stimulating dialog with our client inspired us to new views. It also inspired us to over think (some of) our beliefs.

Several functions, representative and private areas were to relate to and, at the same time, to clearly distinguish themselves from each other.

A combination of differing relations, resulting not only from the topography but also from diverse requirements to the building, leads to an individual living space. Tailored to the particular requirements of the house owner, this habitat cannot be determined typologically.

There are a lot of careful balances in this piece that are really working in my humble opinion. The highly-machined finishes of the exterior are coupled with the natural materials of the interior, the exterior hard and soft surfaces are working in harmony, and there is just enough color to exaggerate the contrasts throughout. I wonder how the exterior curtains will stand up against Father Time and Mother Nature, but it’s a very interesting project nonetheless. Landscaping and people might be nice additions to the project, but it’s working for me!

Sorry but the exterior looks like a Public Toilet. It could be replaced with a plain white or concrete wall.
The Fabric of the curtains could be traded with that of a Sail boat. It would stand up against mother nature.
The interior works for me just fine. It is simple clean and futuristic.
I love the little details like the tree garden in the house.
Sorry for my english.

    exactly my thought.
    Bigger tiles (120cmx60cm) would work for me.

luxury and aristocratic house. the client, I fell, is a big aesthetics lover. very bright house. beautiful views through the windows.

only one thing was suprised me: the exterios decoration: such small form white tiles often using in the interior spaces (toilet, bathroom, kitchen). so such exterior decoration looks a bit crazy (stupidly). for such respectable house you need to use the respectable exterior material (various colors granite slabs or smth else).

very interesting decision about curtains (smth a bit similar to one ‘old’ japan house, where curtains was used instead of walls/borders). yes, in such way the house looks very interesting and individual, but I don’t know how much this decision is practical?

    you probably mean the Curtain Wall House by Shigeru Ban.
    Although here i don´t see any real reason to close the curtain.

    I guess it´s a trap to dump unsuspecting people in the pool when they are coming in from the garden.
