The design response was informed by the intent of taking the most advantage of the Northern lake frontage, while trying to minimise the impact in the street scene of a three storey high building.
In order to maximise the lake views and the solar ingress, the North façade is stretched to almost the limit toward the western and eastern sides. In order to minimise the impact on the street scene the whole house has been broken into smaller parts, therefore the design language is of a stratification of different material blocks sitting one on each other. The bedrooms upstairs form a metal cladded box, which sits on two schist walls at the ground floor, which otherwise is mostly glazed, and a concrete garage below.
