Text description provided by the architects. We began with the very fundamentals, as house being ones ‘heaven’, a private ‘container’ through which one also connects to “elements of nature and society”. It had to be expressive of ones nature by being that friendly place where a passer by felt invited. The house form was boiled down to 2 essential components i.e. “a pavilion and a box”, a dualityexplored programmatically and experientially as private /public, open /closed transparent/opaque throughout. Exploiting the full potential of the site facing an empty green plot and working with the limiting by-laws imaginatively became an overriding concern too.
