The Design

About House Elvesgarden Eraelamu

Projekt oli katse luua midagi võimsat ilma valjuta. Tundlik koht, mis annab rahu ja pakub ümbritsevale loodusele erinevaid vaatenurki. See kõik puudutab valgust ja lugematuid lähenemisi selle vastaspoolele: varjule. Maja ehitati noorele lesknaisele tema hinge varjupaigaks. Atmosfäär on mõjutatud Jaapani poolpimedate varjuliste ruumide kultuurist, kus värvid tunduvad sumbunud ja sära tuleb seestpoolt. Maailm, kus pimedus on täis soojust ja sügavat värvikirevust.

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.
