Schierle House - Matthias Benz

Anyone who has visited a German city’s peripheral area knows what we mean when we refer to a “typical German home.” They are clear-colored houses, with pitched roofs and PVC windows, existing in all imaginable sizes and proportions. Together with a church and train station they form the “typical German peripheral town.”<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1peCxVg-hgOQS7zrSq-oe_RUT_FNX89YLjche8H6MnWK2LGGsNmlzXCInDU17Z4rDd6QJVULK9GXZK6zGHG-DyHw/mb-01-rathscheck-schiefer-1.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1peCxVg-hgOQS7zrSq-oe_RUT_FNX89YLjche8H6MnWK2LGGsNmlzXCInDU17Z4rDd6QJVULK9GXZK6zGHG-DyHw/mb-01-rathscheck-schiefer-1.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pabTC8mPNI1t8I44Tu9-sWZ4ecKRlJDctv7OUmnnawQAne16QN1_BUPTE21VZRfjG_mSnTwIe_512XHqRmnEuyQ/01-rathscheck-schiefer-3.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pabTC8mPNI1t8I44Tu9-sWZ4ecKRlJDctv7OUmnnawQAne16QN1_BUPTE21VZRfjG_mSnTwIe_512XHqRmnEuyQ/01-rathscheck-schiefer-3.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a></div><br />It was in one of these town, located at the outskirts of Munich, that a family formed by a married couple and their daughter stated the objectives for their home; that is, to build and inhabit a house, that would sensibly respect tradition, but at the same time provide an individual and contemporary style.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1po3N5LxEoll5uNHhri6FAAazwLSiPfdEMDf_7-3pRE0uxDi1ai5fPNq8TywQpT4deAHomwT2JtbgqOp6az5jR5Q/mb-01-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1po3N5LxEoll5uNHhri6FAAazwLSiPfdEMDf_7-3pRE0uxDi1ai5fPNq8TywQpT4deAHomwT2JtbgqOp6az5jR5Q/mb-01-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1ptYna7bUhgdgL-YEvLtWQ2hCydNO60nkubT4qz7doyp_K7gidaV0RZzJUWT9lLW1-yM6z_EQWYD9ksW_iA38X4w/mb-01-rathscheck-schiefer-2.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1ptYna7bUhgdgL-YEvLtWQ2hCydNO60nkubT4qz7doyp_K7gidaV0RZzJUWT9lLW1-yM6z_EQWYD9ksW_iA38X4w/mb-01-rathscheck-schiefer-2.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> </div><br />Their home would have to replace the remains of a previous farm, on a 2000-sq.m.-site defined by a gentle hill slope and an excellent view over the town. The strict urban regulations allowing only pitched-roof buildings challenged the client’s desire for individuality. In addition, in order to avoid the rejection from the neighbors, it was important to abstain from anything that could alter the panoramic view over the valley they already enjoyed. The project was approached as an opportunity to re-interpret the traditional architectural language aiming at a goal that besides being innovative and functional would provide new building terms through recyclable materials and the use of contemporary energy solutions.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1plekG_yl8H9p4ombZSR2f-RJ9ceEIIF9U1bNYFC-MokzL5Cx6DJLX1d_aKqsvBjWuwBEG4GDtYl6iUrqofeuZ2w/mb-02-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1plekG_yl8H9p4ombZSR2f-RJ9ceEIIF9U1bNYFC-MokzL5Cx6DJLX1d_aKqsvBjWuwBEG4GDtYl6iUrqofeuZ2w/mb-02-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pLFdbDwlmvgnDD2cwLiHJU0935VlFJ-4Sxn0Sg-qbSVvDbXtw-KB_4KV2qc8sFjBPJARo36hoqNSWVmcikLY8xQ/mb-03-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pLFdbDwlmvgnDD2cwLiHJU0935VlFJ-4Sxn0Sg-qbSVvDbXtw-KB_4KV2qc8sFjBPJARo36hoqNSWVmcikLY8xQ/mb-03-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> </div><br />A simple geometry was adopted for the house, combining two solid volumes enabling not only to maintain but improve the neighboring homes view over the valley.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p61rQxjY1j52EPKMip_RQbk4DPXcEyPW9DWrBegFTWLMbZWVQ_FbQc5gOyiW69hwMVnE8qs5ylEjVKVhCpaltDg/mb-04-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p61rQxjY1j52EPKMip_RQbk4DPXcEyPW9DWrBegFTWLMbZWVQ_FbQc5gOyiW69hwMVnE8qs5ylEjVKVhCpaltDg/mb-04-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pDRjtz5dAOzdMGPh7uVISikJVgnsK4_NUzltdZsuTeqCwu7EJRmYg8dD8e-dWKXWW8wSPv3NnqzxV4QH8sq877Q/mb-07-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pDRjtz5dAOzdMGPh7uVISikJVgnsK4_NUzltdZsuTeqCwu7EJRmYg8dD8e-dWKXWW8wSPv3NnqzxV4QH8sq877Q/mb-07-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> </div><br />White is the companion for the peace of the sleeping and resting areas. The volume containing the spaces to be shared by the family was characterized through slate-stone facades and roof. Working with Rathscheck Schiefer, a special emphasis was placed on developing the capabilities to build with slate stone, stressing the solution of corner details. Through the integration of the pitched roof required by city planning regulations plus the vertical shifting needed to adapt to the hillside, a volume evoking a modern monolith, covered by an ancient over 400-million-year material, whose silky glitter attains the perfect environmental integration, was obtained.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pW4sNBZ1AqXXM6gtGZEbw6uif3GcdEa_R_SvoxCMJsn92bopqt304tkLcf03kJS0QLUF-ZWPL8QMp09IaF7YKGQ/mb-05-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pW4sNBZ1AqXXM6gtGZEbw6uif3GcdEa_R_SvoxCMJsn92bopqt304tkLcf03kJS0QLUF-ZWPL8QMp09IaF7YKGQ/mb-05-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1ptx6zE-2GZ4kg6AqXLGVBcsTUqBaA5o6evjGJg4FzPBHm8T8nLS1f4MutRiqfKugfvOkSApfPlq-2-325benCoA/mb-06-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1ptx6zE-2GZ4kg6AqXLGVBcsTUqBaA5o6evjGJg4FzPBHm8T8nLS1f4MutRiqfKugfvOkSApfPlq-2-325benCoA/mb-06-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a></div><br />The use of recyclable materials and inclusion of energy saving concepts are fully integrated to this work. A wood structure with flax insulation, cellulose, and wood-fiber board was the option selected to obtain a thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.14W/m²K as average value for all the facades. A heating pump with five 35-meter-depth geothermal probes benefits from the earth-generated/stored heat for heating purposes. The great windows placed at the south façade allow the maximum use of natural light, while the 4-meter-hight obtained through vertical shifting to adapt to ground displacement takes advantage of the currents ascending the slope to ventilate interiors in summer.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pbUQKDo-g_qvnPwn3p2nXj43_qGDzqTMgFteVj96WWqkPu_18nsQCv12Wcv-hv2TY2uBQRPKHZKNnRux5mJDIMQ/mb-08-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pbUQKDo-g_qvnPwn3p2nXj43_qGDzqTMgFteVj96WWqkPu_18nsQCv12Wcv-hv2TY2uBQRPKHZKNnRux5mJDIMQ/mb-08-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pPhXlDiKpKJPIQzThcVmxpFtJlFe4ViXoU9dtaQWg5Btnl5Q4zegOukIPhwEIdt4AzvH_MKF9nmu1tc4bcWxsxg/mb-09-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pPhXlDiKpKJPIQzThcVmxpFtJlFe4ViXoU9dtaQWg5Btnl5Q4zegOukIPhwEIdt4AzvH_MKF9nmu1tc4bcWxsxg/mb-09-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pUCLs6cZW1PdscOqVn83nTXUTXAWdQu4xRyJHPqKkFridY3txv-ZwPi7K3b7Lp22c6lKYYXkXAb6Nq08KgSr1nA/mb-10-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pUCLs6cZW1PdscOqVn83nTXUTXAWdQu4xRyJHPqKkFridY3txv-ZwPi7K3b7Lp22c6lKYYXkXAb6Nq08KgSr1nA/mb-10-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p3i0aVNvyriY8DsbcZQ4zLFZCBSSNnCTgslWC6u1n9WAlatf6dPrGRaqVzPcSn6XZ3qd0lMQudxInvxXc9g8Maw/mb-11-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Schierle House - Matthias Benz" border="0" src="http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p3i0aVNvyriY8DsbcZQ4zLFZCBSSNnCTgslWC6u1n9WAlatf6dPrGRaqVzPcSn6XZ3qd0lMQudxInvxXc9g8Maw/mb-11-haus-schierle.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a> </div><br />The total energy consumption of this home is 65% under the values permitted by German Energy Norms (ENEV).

JD House - BAK Architects

The 20m x 30m plot of land in the coastal <strong>Mar Azul</strong> forest in Buenos Aires, Argentina is the site for BAK Architects‘ JD House, <strong>a residence designed in concrete</strong>, wood and glass and blended into the topography and vegetation on the site. The preliminary specifications for the house required two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large, flexible social area, integrated into the kitchen, that could accommodate different activities for the guests that are expected to visit. The client also specified that generous outdoor expansions were available on the site.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1piYZcPwAX2yrR9QFAdAgCmMz0VeopkemzG7-BSfHYiDgIMeWTvr8jChJraxX57pp1VTXHSEo1AwTPQFgnwCfBQn4usokb9w2m/cjd-bak-01.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa JD - BAK Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1piYZcPwAX2yrR9QFAdAgCmMz0VeopkemzG7-BSfHYiDgIMeWTvr8jChJraxX57pp1VTXHSEo1AwTPQFgnwCfBQn4usokb9w2m/cjd-bak-01.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a></div><br />The land on which the house is situated follows a gentle slope that provided a welcome challenge for the design of the house. In relationship to the street level, the house sits very high above the ground in order to adjust to the level changes on the site. This provides a a heightened condition of privacy, as passersby are less able to see into the house from the street, and a vantage point from which the inhabitants can view out onto the landscape over neighboring houses.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p8IcBhO0AKkOhl9lKDcqLHueiN27tt2Zx-3hIJdyVMOW8iufzszp-d7m17bdVIpHCtlPlm2BwxCetHBdyJKDvx2vUMNLI1Flx/cjd-bak-02.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa JD - BAK Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p8IcBhO0AKkOhl9lKDcqLHueiN27tt2Zx-3hIJdyVMOW8iufzszp-d7m17bdVIpHCtlPlm2BwxCetHBdyJKDvx2vUMNLI1Flx/cjd-bak-02.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pnAVhdCKzWdWLPrtVhsCfCysV73T9_GmG9hqb4NO2Y-Kc8uycPpJYIIPGG1NEExCZ7OLCanIHy-fZEDIU91bMdTJ6X3IUaJnr/cjd-bak-03.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa JD - BAK Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pnAVhdCKzWdWLPrtVhsCfCysV73T9_GmG9hqb4NO2Y-Kc8uycPpJYIIPGG1NEExCZ7OLCanIHy-fZEDIU91bMdTJ6X3IUaJnr/cjd-bak-03.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a></div><br />The house was conceived as two pure prisms, located in a clearing among trees of various heights, as intersecting perpendicular forms that joined at half levels. The slope was once again used to the advantage of the proposal to hide parts of the program, thereby reducing the presence of the building on the site. The form that developed from the conjoining of the volumes resulted in programs that were substantially independent from one another, but united through large openings in the social gathering spaces as well as through outdoor terraces and wooden decks that extended the living space out into the forest.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pNELjsv_Qwd_UdYZ6riz0NafhBfVd0GUezBAvHgIcqxG2MHlafeJIY4-iDGqkOI3onDONk0CTrmOsx8rHB7CA0Te6QZ_5nnU-/cjd-bak-04.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa JD - BAK Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pNELjsv_Qwd_UdYZ6riz0NafhBfVd0GUezBAvHgIcqxG2MHlafeJIY4-iDGqkOI3onDONk0CTrmOsx8rHB7CA0Te6QZ_5nnU-/cjd-bak-04.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pNELjsv_Qwd-NR6FBuxr7iUqBISNCfah5j8MjtUyhIYH5oHDdmgsBXuWsXLyDKhN_0FsS7wptKs68OWlnF3LssSvTRfWJV6QN/cjd-bak-05.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa JD - BAK Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pNELjsv_Qwd-NR6FBuxr7iUqBISNCfah5j8MjtUyhIYH5oHDdmgsBXuWsXLyDKhN_0FsS7wptKs68OWlnF3LssSvTRfWJV6QN/cjd-bak-05.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a></div><br />The house is accessed along the longest side through a deck that is raised above the natural terrain. By stepping the deck into complete volume of the house and creating a corner as the entrance, BAK Architects simulated an interior condition in the exterior of the residence, where already the material and spatial organization is felt. The height difference perceived in the entry intentionally signify the different uses of the spaces caused by the intersections of the prisms.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIqA03ESdpPMB27NBgAtYgC1Fk5DQOA6p4vfBGm3I6Yy7qyDOTkbeOC1n0ti-c8VDdHtlSoXGbEDRwZWl_UpSvjfRU5jKzshN/cjd-bak-06.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa JD - BAK Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pIqA03ESdpPMB27NBgAtYgC1Fk5DQOA6p4vfBGm3I6Yy7qyDOTkbeOC1n0ti-c8VDdHtlSoXGbEDRwZWl_UpSvjfRU5jKzshN/cjd-bak-06.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p225hrtXmWAKbdzkY3UevISyN661r-0HeqsHbjFM8eybT2IbN10IWXXwjulBo8E4FsTVCslmaBXQtju6QHlEiI30a9QY5h1jv/cjd-bak-07.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa JD - BAK Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p225hrtXmWAKbdzkY3UevISyN661r-0HeqsHbjFM8eybT2IbN10IWXXwjulBo8E4FsTVCslmaBXQtju6QHlEiI30a9QY5h1jv/cjd-bak-07.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a></div><br />The architects play with the volumes, alternating between high and low ceilings and depressed floors to provide a dynamic space of a variety of functions. The level of transparency through the house is equally as important as the opacity of the gray concrete walls. The views through the house direct its users’ eyes onto the landscape beyond the house, whereas the concrete walls direct light and provide organized views within the house. While the house is visually open, the architects took great care to create private areas, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, that are nestled and buried under the general “ground level” of the house. The architects were careful to leave as many salvageable trees on the site as possible allowing them to pierce through several of the outdoor decks that are an extension of the house.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pScfOK3PJo5wrcU5dnhX532UqG0KgjaT_PRSFnuech4eZm5YiW8LMBftJ0uMV13fDHHR9KCS_cr14VzkzSSQaz3YIqEt1mfj5/cjd-bak-08.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa JD - BAK Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pScfOK3PJo5wrcU5dnhX532UqG0KgjaT_PRSFnuech4eZm5YiW8LMBftJ0uMV13fDHHR9KCS_cr14VzkzSSQaz3YIqEt1mfj5/cjd-bak-08.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p9kHRX19khJyr078SKa2MVTmEtH7RhiS2SplUhBjJJa9ex1axrO6OoCCHpEUpRwevDYYaKzwrlleAQVMgqgt6BbkpmcEUMUi8/cjd-bak-09.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa JD - BAK Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p9kHRX19khJyr078SKa2MVTmEtH7RhiS2SplUhBjJJa9ex1axrO6OoCCHpEUpRwevDYYaKzwrlleAQVMgqgt6BbkpmcEUMUi8/cjd-bak-09.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a></div><br />The three basic materials of the house are exposed concrete, glass and wood, as well as the natural decorative elements of the surrounding forest. H21 concrete was used with the addition of a plasticizer to the mix with little amounts of water used to harden, resulting in a very compact material that does not require sealing. The few hollow brick interior walls are finished in smoothing cement. The heating system, since there is no natural gas in the area, was resolved with a system that combines salamander, bottled gas stoves and electric heaters.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pGwIv298u-im8nnklZprwv7MbILxP_-4dkrq0ZX3W60lwdibFOc_WmVlGAOKv12xs9ua5KoKjgdrFPnCkVy3KkkYC6B0fPdJy/cjd-bak-10.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa JD -

As there are no partition walls, the open space allows for stunning views over the historical centre of Leiden.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pBhDeZ_3kLfH-KKRVnvLYeiSdJckY5T90lTQoe4kd_kA_EyPnOold8XaSxBq817afNw4hyQfn5kNoFpm5J85iskA98ru_nEZr/v21k07-pasel-kuenzael-architects-4777.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="1K07 - Pasel.Kuenzael Architects, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pBhDeZ_3kLfH-KKRVnvLYeiSdJckY5T90lTQoe4kd_kA_EyPnOold8XaSxBq817afNw4hyQfn5kNoFpm5J85iskA98ru_nEZr/v21k07-pasel-kuenzael-architects-4777.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pSgxKuuey77tVVof_jd1nuMscr4U730y-AFVhF1a-v0U-PygUVxQ_CzFonigJjxDrvZQEvyLlylX1t3Zl5v-gFZYrkBsD1ia-/v21k07-pasel-kuenzael-architects-4793.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="1K07 - Pasel.Kuenzael Architects, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pSgxKuuey77tVVof_jd1nuMscr4U730y-AFVhF1a-v0U-PygUVxQ_CzFonigJjxDrvZQEvyLlylX1t3Zl5v-gFZYrkBsD1ia-/v21k07-pasel-kuenzael-architects-4793.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a></div><br />By contrast the ground floor holds a multipurpose room, giving the opportunity for all inhabitants to make use of it, be it for playing or working, for reading or collective activities. This exposes activities that would normally be the hidden in the attics of Dutch houses. By means of big windows inside and outside merges, making the entrance porch, which replaces the traditional front garden, the communicative heart of the building, as well as an informal meeting spot with the whole neighbourhood. The continuous wooden design of floor, wall and ceiling create a subtle transition from public to private.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1po1JqW7ZYJ0q_EwsSq9zGejzyTGIav0xluaJbR9-5TZ1T91SCkxJ70CSC7zOaY3gNEVJnBwJDq4mdo2s0LKOKeF0uy59ekb1T/v21k07-pasel-kuenzael-architects-4805.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="1K07 - Pasel.Kuenzael Architects, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1po1JqW7ZYJ0q_EwsSq9zGejzyTGIav0xluaJbR9-5TZ1T91SCkxJ70CSC7zOaY3gNEVJnBwJDq4mdo2s0LKOKeF0uy59ekb1T/v21k07-pasel-kuenzael-architects-4805.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a></div><br />Using the full footprint of the plot, the storey in the middle accommodates the kids’ rooms and the master bedroom. Through its cantilever it allows for the entrance area of the house.<br /><br />The black coloured timber façade refers directly to the historical black wooden houses in the region. In order to minimize costs, details were reduced to a bare minimum and only one window format was used. Sliding shutters on the outside allow for privacy and overheating in the summer.
