The Design

About House Elvesgarden La Residència Privada

El projecte va ser un intent de crear quelcom potent sense ser fort. Un lloc sensible que dona tranquil·litat i ofereix diverses perspectives a la natura que l'envolta. Es tracta de la llum i dels innombrables aproximacions a la seva contrapart: l'ombra. La casa va ser construïda per a una jove vídua com a refugi de la seva ànima. L'atmosfera està influenciada per la cultura japonesa de les habitacions semi-fosques amb ombres on els colors semblen esmorteïts i la brillantor prové de dins. Un món on la foscor és plena de calidesa i colorit profund.

Tags: House, garden, natural materials, light, pool
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.
