CONCEPT

A house in the bottom fo a ravine, and surrounded by nature…? Yes, please.

THE SOLUTION

A twenty-meter drop separates the usable area of the project from the access road. So a panoramic elevator becomes an integral part of the solution in this residential project.

The house is then designed with floating high roofs that let in the tree-top views of the surrounding ravine.

An inward-looking house has the ability to also open up to a neighboring shared garden, so movable partitions provide privacy when necessary.

A light steel structure runs through the house and supports the roofs.
