Terrace House
The Terrace House is designed for moderately sloping sites. The villa has a southwest orientation. You’ll find two floors with very different qualities.
The top floor comprises individual bedrooms turned away from the sun, orientated to an oasis of trees on the north side of the villa. Boulders from the site will be used to create a semi-transparent façade on the south side. Behind this façade you’ll find frosted-glass sliding panels which can be opened for fresh air or for viewing the valley.
The top floor creates the shade for the ground floor, a ‘cave’ and terrace at the same time. Here you’ll find communal spaces such as the living room and studio, situated on the side with views. Sunlight enters dark spaces on the ground floor through skylights that face the ‘oasis garden’. The near story-high sliding glass panels blur the boundaries between inside and outside.
