A contemporary take on 1930s modernism with its long, cream, shallow brickwork, full-height glazing, and the contrasting integration of the flat and fluid, open and enclosed, flexible and defined. An avantgarde architecture.
On entering through a curved indent in an otherwise flat and mysterious façade, visitors are led into the entrance hall. Stepping into the property, it suddenly opens into the well-lit living spaces of its curved and fluid interior. This continuous wall also serves as an entrance to the garage and staircase. The living room and library take up the rest of the space, wrapped around a curvaceous and carved out courtyard that frames the focal point of the house, the tree. The flooring from inside continues outside and essentially turns the courtyard into an extension of the house i.e. as an exterior room. Solar panels are installed on the roof to compensate for energy lost from the house’s glazing producing enough energy for it to run entirely on electricity.
