The design of this project is based on working with mutual tension between spaces with different intensity of daylight, different proportions, openness and enclosure, including between new and old.
The architect combines the masonry and reinforced concrete monolithic technology for this apartment building construction. It is also characterized by some materials such as cast terrazzo, exposed concrete, hot-dip galvanized steel elements, natural spruce windows, and smooth light gray plaster.
The textures, colors, and materials reference the fibrous cement cladding of vernacular shacks and bush setting in the abstracted with a familiar composition. The hardwood plywood cabinetry, subtle lighting, an aged tapware can add a refined richness to enhance domestic rituals like washing, bathing, and cooking. This house is well-made by local hands to be loved and durable for generations and it is delivered under budget.
Located in the rolling foothills means this home can have a lot of advantages from its site, especially the landscape. The green plains and beautiful hills able to turn this home into a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The dark exterior look makes this home can be recognized easily as a unique living place.
This family house is built based on a combination of reinforced concrete and masonry construction. Its lower floor is reinforced and also resists soil pressure while the ceilings are monolithic. The building uniform skin is ensured by the sandwich construction with the white sand-lime brick and the windows are oak, as same as the staircases and floors. A larch floor can be found on the terrace area.
The result of this awesome project is a warm and comfortable family that is modestly sized that can cover its relative lack of scale with the ever-closer relationship with the landscape and an abundance of light. This house also can get a lot of advantages from the landscape views that come to the house interior through the elegant glass walls.
