Family house with studio

A house for an artist who intensively utilizes both the exterior and interior of the house for their work and is a lover of warmth and sunshine. The glazed surfaces and the color of the corrugated metal facade reflect the character of its inhabitants.
The location of the family house is determined by the shape of the plot and its orientation to the cardinal directions. The house responds to the existing road on the southern - access side of the plot. A workshop and covered parking space are proposed at the boundary of the plot's building line. This provides the house with a valuable quiet zone that is also used as a workspace (and exhibition space) for the sculptor. The actual family house is positioned at the furthest boundary of the neighboring plot's built area, which allows for an orientation of the western glazed facade towards the landscaped parts of the surrounding plots. The house takes advantage of the gentle slope of the plot and rises towards the exposed view of the horizon of the forest. This corresponds to the gradating arrangement of the rooms, which is also reflected in the facade. The design of the family house emerges from a very simple compositional mass, from which only the glazed prism of the studio protrudes. At the place where the studio juts out, the otherwise flat roof rises and creates the space for the attic room. A terrace lining the western side of the building and stretching out on the northern side aids in connecting the living areas of the interiors with the outdoor living spaces.
The house is largely made of masonry, insulated with mineral wool, with a ventilated facade and roof.
