Description

The client's task was not only to build an energy efficient building, but also to use the advantages of the beautiful surroundings and terrain to create the house architecture. The layout of the building is based on watching nature landscapes from different angles through wide glazing and windows on all sides of the sky. The south-eastern facade is made like a two wings with a large terrace under huge roof overhang. This facade has wide glazing to pass on solar energy in the winter. Natural slate is used for the sloping roof covering, as well as for the decoration of the facades. As a main finishing material was used a natural slate in combination with wooden board cladding.
