The project is an infill development in an existing garden with gently sloping terrain. Although the footprint is barely 57sqm the house has a total living space of 170sqm, divided into 4 floors. Given a small area for building, proximity to a main road and neighbours as well as strict regulation, the house is designed with custom geometry and maximized verticality in order to make the most out of the given situation.   

​

The house consists of a rectangular shape with two local displacements in the building´s form, enabling sunlight and placement of all vertical communication. The offset in the building envelope allows for high vertical windows towards the east and west in addition to defining the external seating decks in the garden towards the north and south. The house is constructed with cross-laminated timber with insufflate wood fibre insulation and maintenance-free cladding of pine.
