The Design

About House Elvesgarden Privatbolig

Prosjektet var et forsøk på å skape noe kraftfullt uten å være høylytt. Et følsomt sted som gir ro og tilbyr ulike perspektiver til den omkringliggende naturen. Det handler om lys og de utallige tilnærmingene til dets motpart: skyggen. Huset ble bygget for en ung enke som et tilfluktssted for hennes sjel. Atmosfæren er påvirket av den japanske kulturen med halvmørke, skyggefulle rom hvor fargene virker dempet og gløden kommer innenfra. En verden hvor mørket er fullt av varme og dyp fargerikdom.

The Ground floor is a generous open space but intimate.
A centred bronze fireplace is the heart of the living area, surrounded by different gardens views.
The upper Floor contains her private rooms.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1600 m2
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.
