This house is conceived not only as a place to live and work, but also as an exhibition house where experimental applications of earthen construction will be tested. After initial attempts to define the building’s volume through optimal exposure and orientation, the house takes the form of a fragmented cube, extending the continuity of the surrounding landscape. Two strong incisions carve out terraces. The design of the rammed-earth façades further breaks down the volume. Layers of flat stone act as erosion brakes and articulate the upper and lower parts through differentiated spacing. The projecting window shutters are set deep within the walls, emphasizing their thickness and spatially linking the interior to elements of the landscape. Thanks to its fragmented volume, the north façade remains minimal while simultaneously benefiting from solar heat gain on the other façades. The sequence of interior spaces creates a material unfolding that literally rises from the raw and archaic to the noble and the refined. The house offers an experience that unfolds into calm spaces of retreat—a place to engage with the landscape, work remotely, create, and enjoy time, space, and light.
