Text description provided by the architects. One of the site characteristics which we wanted to alter was the ground plane of the site with respect to the elevation of the fairway abutting it since there was a difference of almost 2m in height between the respective ground levels. Hence, we decided to elevate the site by 2 m in order to be confronted with the infinite expanse of green when one enters the plot from the street. The 2m height would be partially utilised by some service areas connected to the house. The design concept was derived after imagining a set of scenarios that would take place in the house at different times along with the potential the site offered wherein the 30 m side flanked by the fairway would be tested by the geometric intent.The scenarios allowed us to approach the notion of program differently just as much as the objective of spending a weekend at the house.
