About House Elvesgarden Fale Tumaoti

O le poloketi o se taumafaiga e fatuina se mea mamana e aunoa ma le leotele. O se nofoaga ma'ale'ale e maua ai le to'afilemu ma ofoina atu vaaiga eseese i le natura o lo'o siomia ai. O mea uma e uiga i le malamalama ma le anoanoai o auala i lona faatusa: o le ata lafoia. Sa fausia le fale mo se fafine talavou ua oti lana tane e fai ma mea e malolo ai lona agaga. O le atemosifia e a'afia e le aganu'u Iapani o potu paolo pogisa lea e foliga mai e susu le lanu ma e sau le susulu mai totonu. O se lalolagi e tumu le pogisa i le mafanafana ma le loloto o lanu felanulanua'i.

Unique Properties: Entering the gravelled entrance courtyard from the street,you leave the outside world behind.
A house tree gives protection and makes beautiful shade paintings on the 2 huge subtle positioned stonewalls that mark the entrance to the house and directly opposite the elvesgate entrance to the main garden.
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.
