The client’s request for a clear separation between the different functional areas formed the basis of the design concept for this house. The various areas are arranged along the sun’s trajectory. A cuboid serves to link these functional spheres both two- and three-dimensionally. The opposites of support and open space, closed and open,
light and dark are playfully intertwined, producing countless visual impressions that have a positive effect on the wellbeing of those inhabiting the space. The two clients’ different artistic ideas are united into a kind of collage, with openness and clear lines as key design elements.
