The idea of the four detached volumes came after the client specifically asked for the house’s interior to be directly connected with its natural surroundings. The result: a cross-shaped void in between the four volumes that is essentially used only as transient space connecting the different areas which with its glass walls and ceiling, bestows a sense of walking out in nature whenever a member of the family moves from one room to the other. Materials used in the project are understated and yet convey a contemporary feel, seen in the local granite for the floors, patinated pine boards on the walls and zinc cladding for the roof.
