The project suggests a house design for a client who will be 32 years old in ten years. The main idea is to create a home that is closed away from the outside world but open, accessible, and fluid inside. The house is organized around a courtyard layout that improves natural light, ventilation, and flow between rooms. The street-facing facades are less transparent, which helps keep the house private. A glass workshop, reflecting the client’s personal interests, has been added and highlighted by a more transparent, showroom-like façade. Linear architectural elements and a visible furnace chimney ensure formal and material continuity. To eliminate the traditional corridor hierarchy, the design emphasizes a free-plan organization, allowing for flexible and interconnected interior spaces.
