A house with a strong angle of the roof

This project sets up on the sloped hillside, which is similar to our Winchester assignment.  The surroundings are absolutely fantastic so the approach to the house through the forest was the first inspiration. The designer  wanted to go through the house before entering the house itself. So entering through a bridge that crosses the house you reappear still outside with a striking view to nature. The forest appear like a privilege landscape visible from the house, a “borrowed nature”.

The designer uses this huge abstract  shape that rising from the ground because of the steep angle of the land. The strong angle of the house was also guided by the requirement of winter conditions, the heavy load of snow slides from the roof. 

The light seems to be coming from every where, between the ceiling and the walls, the volumes are enlightened by long invisible windows, it has almost a religious feel creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The changes of the light outside create subtle changes in the interior all day long: natural lighting becomes the artist of a live performance.
