About The Fifth Element Residence
The house consists of five parallel rectangles. Garage and Spa blocks are displaced to the living volume. They protect it from prying eyes and form a compact field for the entrance and recreation areas, resp. Spa hangs on the console above the ground and is opened to nature by its glazing. The facades facing the forest feature full-size windows that fill the living spaces with light and air. Water installation of the terrace creates a microclimate in the summer heat. The two-storied tower of living room forms vertical axis, which subordinates all the elements of the building and landscape.
