The Design

About House Elvesgarden Privaat Woning

Die projek was 'n poging om iets kragtigs te skep sonder om hard te wees. 'n Sensitiewe plek wat rustigheid gee en verskeie perspektiewe op die omliggende natuur bied. Dit gaan alles oor lig en die ontelbare benaderings tot sy eweknie: die skaduwee. Die huis is vir 'n jong weduwee gebou as 'n toevlugsoord vir haar siel. Die atmosfeer word beïnvloed deur die Japannese kultuur van semi-donker skadukamers waar die kleure gedemp lyk en die gloed van binne af kom. 'n Wêreld waar duisternis vol warmte en diep kleurrykheid is.

Production Technology: Concrete, steel, wood, stone, glass
Research: So, it is no wonder that the architecture is deeply connected with nature. The garden with its forest like atmosphere was really the starting point of the project. A major dream from the owner was namely to have her first garden she dreamt of since her childhood.
Inspiration: It was more than an aesthetic exercise.
It was a spiritual retreat, a place to cleanse body and soul.
The house was build for a young widow as a retreat for her soul.
The atmosphere is influenced by the Japanese culture of semi dark shadowed rooms where the colours seem damped and the glow comes from within. A world where darkness is full of warmth and profound colourfulness.
Project Duration: The project started in 2017 in Munich and finished in 2019
Operation Flow: The project was an attempt to create something powerful without being loud. A sensitive place that gives tranquility and offers various perspectives to the surrounding nature.
It is all about light and the countless approaches to its counterpart: the shadow.
