In high class residential area, a large volume residence had to be constructed on a relatively small site.
Next to a giant outdoor pool there was almost no space for a garden. So, the idea was to put the garden onto the roof and work close to the concept of a zero-seal house which means the sealed areas are given back to nature on the rooftop.
On ground level an open floor plan flows freely from east to west along the pool. Sliding floor-to-ceiling windows create a real connection between the inside space and the garden.
The borders of the side are hidden by a whole series of newly planted canopying trees which provide natural Sun protection, while large rhododendrons provide privacy from the surroundings and allow planting under the existing beech tree and the newly planted oak tree on the street side.
The ground is lightly modelled and a covered seating area with radiant heaters and vertical awnings allow year-round use.
The lush planted roof terrace is reserved for the hardworking parents with an outdoor seating area for relaxing and catching the last evening sun.
Under a Pinus mugo and behind Japanese forest grass, the hidden whirlpool realises a childhood dream of the client.
A sensual minimalistic atmosphere is carefully detailed with great attention to natural and artificial lighting.
