The two-storey wood-stud construction is intended to foster the family life of multiple generations and at the same time offer the option to withdraw and spend time alone. The upper level and one third of the lower level are reserved for a young family with children. The rest of the ground storey provides space for the older generation. The latter’s living room adjoins – and is visible from – the shared, open foyer; the two spaces are only separated by two steps. The younger family passes through the same foyer to reach its unit, which is demarcated by floor-to-ceiling built-in furniture and the stair core.
All of the functions situated on the ground level are organised along the building’s longitudinal axis, which is emphasised by the centrally positioned sliding windows on the south and north sides. They serve as the ground floor’s main source of light. Additional air and light are provided by the narrow, vertical windows in the east facade and by the two voids. The living and dining areas adjoining the shared south terrace can be separated or linked by means of the sliding wall partitions. This makes it possible to create a large shared living room when needed.
