House THE

Location: Luxemburg

Area: 240m²

Completion: 2010

The clearly defined volumes play with the concepts of heaviness and lightness. A walk around the single-family house reveals firmly anchored volumes and floating bodies creating large overhangs. The four facades were treated with regard to local conditions. The few openings to neighboring buildings are partially covered in wooden slats in order to filter the views from and to the most private areas. The largest opening is on the garden side, where the entire first floor is raised off the ground.

The project was part of the exhibition "Houses of the world" during the Ljubljana Month of design 2013
