Nestled at the edge of a wooden plot of land, the house is generously open towards the south: from every space inside one can follow the course of the sun and the changing quality of the light during the day. The ground level is about abstraction. Large panels of glass and brushed aluminum reflect the light and the luscious landscape while the roof is as a wooden hull, carefully carved out so as to create views towards the sun and trees. Wood is the main building material and has been chosen for its unique ability to make light vibrant and be malleable at many scales.
