Futurist Architecture

The building opens from the traditional ground floor on both corners and through the upper story of the house. Some sight lines penetrate the house with the windows that can create frames for the surrounding nature of the site. The house design is also made to establish a ’prismatic’ formal expression and create a good interaction between the volumes without other elements or details. While some smooth pine panels are used to cover the facade in a dark grey matte paint. The glazing systems come from Schüco.

The architect also works together with some best engineers for this building structure.
