About Project

The central connecting space opens to both front and back of the house to create a multifunctional covered courtyard with an open counter bar. The larger volume cantilevers over the country plain, lightening the concrete mass. The crafted proportions of the building create a sensitive, almost sacred relationship with the human scale.
Three  materials have been used in the composition: concrete, local conglomerate stone and oak…
The broken layout of the building mirrors and pays respect to the traditional vernacular structures of the region.
The building mainly uses natural airflow for ventilation, a hybrid solar system for electricity and natural water from an artesian well.
