This small home features a unique concept, which derives from a children’s playground. Kids love to play between houses, on a narrow path or at the edge of a garden; based on that, the owner wanted to build a house with a courtyard that would serve as a natural playground.
Rather than a collection of rooms, like any ordinary house, this one is actually a collection of small disconnected structures; paths covered by a glass roof weave between the different units, creating an interior space that feels like you’re outside – a private space that feels public.
I love this concept. It’s like having the whole street to yourself; the color palette is also beautiful – calm, modern and extremely cohesive.
Shrubs and greenery grow in pots and large containers, while a small table and a chair are waiting around the corner for you to have your first cup of coffee for the day…
a wall lamp acts as a street light…
This compact family home is based on single story timber structure; the site area is 266 sq. meters, while the total floor area is approx. 130 sq. meters. The owner wanted to use the space outside to its full potential – just like kids – watch the stars, read under the sun or simply enjoy a breeze while eating. This is indeed a whole new interpretation of the indoor-outdoor relationship.
