Lime and Timber House

A house of timber construction finished with lime plaster inside and outside. A warm and natural architectural body with smooth details becomes a new home for a family of four and a dog. The linear volume composition with a symmetrical rhythm of windows sits in a garden of birch trees. The solid yet laconic overhanging roof unites the garage, house, and garden terrace volumes. Curved roof terraces and handrails introduce relaxed forms for rest. The house has been designed according to a robust energy strategy: a compact main volume, solar-facing windows, and overhangs to prevent overheating.
