Status: Proposal
Status:
The guesthouse on the other hand emerges from the hard landscape, slowly forming a transition between nature and architecture. The external façade has been designed to accommodate a green wall, so that the building will overtime begin to synthesise into the natural landscape, blurring the lines between nature and architecture. The roof terrace above the guest house acts as a welcomed extension from the main dwelling to the lake creating a seamless transition from one home to the other.
The roof has been designed to be a third of the total height of the guesthouse.
A generous ledge protects the house from the harsh conditions of winter and the falling leaves in autumn defining a distinct architectural frame for the inhabitants. An external staircase connects the family’s main dwelling with the guest house.
