The Design

About House Elvesgarden Residência Privada

O projeto foi uma tentativa de criar algo poderoso sem ser barulhento. Um local sensível que confere tranquilidade e oferece diversas perspetivas sobre a natureza envolvente. É tudo uma questão de luz e das inúmeras abordagens à sua contraparte: a sombra. A casa foi construída para uma jovem viúva como retiro para a sua alma. A atmosfera é influenciada pela cultura japonesa de quartos semiescuros e sombreados, onde as cores parecem amortecidas e o brilho vem de dentro. Um mundo onde a escuridão está cheia de calor e de profundo colorido.

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.
