A Simple Box House












A few days ago,  I went a wrong way about the understanding of a designer. I wanted to create something different project from everyone else, therefore i prefer to catch up people's attention from the prospective of the shape rather than focus on  the function of interior space. Actually, volume, function of houses, light, surroundings and materials  are important for Interior Architecture designers. It is particular vital that we should pay more attention on the function of space, light or materials to highlight this project when we have the similar shape.

This house on the shore of Lake Drevviken takes the form of a simple box, with an enclosed courtyard at the back and a terrace to the front. It is not a complicated shape of this house and not simple. Although the shape of this  house seems to be several cube that connect to each other and all  walls are printed to white, it is not lose its appeal. There are different pictures in the season of winter and summer. In winter, when the lake freezes over and the site is blanketed in snow, the pale volume is all but invisible. In summer, viewed from across the water, the elevations are fragmented by foliage. Inside the house is designed to be as open as possible to views over the lake, with spaces framed in simple surfaces and in a pale tonal palette.
