The building massing of this dwelling on the edge of the historic centre is similar to that of its predecessor. But because the client was wary of the unpleasant surprises a refurbishment could bring, she decided to replace it. Her desire for a sustainable form of construction, a brief construction phase and a pleasant indoor climate pointed to timber construction. The facade and roof enclosing the stud walls are clad in fibre-cement boards. Corresponding to different uses, the ceiling heights increase the higher one ascends. Careful detailing of the shingled facade boards gives the impression of a pile of boxes of increasing size.
