Completion

The concept of the house combines two contradictory methods of defining a territory. Through the extroverted ground floor, the exterior space flows among the fixed functional blocks; the interior is separated from the garden by only a glass wall.
The concrete frame delineates the introverted floor of bedrooms and baths. Contact with the exterior world is filtered through an atrium; the view of the landscape is mediated through openings in the concrete walls. An intimate atmosphere is preserved even while maximising the glazing in bedrooms and baths. Materials are chosen in their natural colours, while glass is tinted into subtle shades.
