A house with four bay windows and two levels is embedded in the topography by a spatially perceptible split. At each of the four corners of the house, cantilevered situations merge with the spaces behind them, creating generous, polygonal rooms with both open and closed niches and a strong, three-side connection to the garden. Together with the serving spaces, this defines the corners of the building. In between, a less exposed, open living space is spread as a a topography over two levels, oriented on three sides. In combination with the cantilevered bay windows, the sides of the building are differentiated by house-high panels of in-situ concrete, interspersed with staggered, structurally open sections in timber construction. Both structurally and in terms of surfaces, wood and concrete interact both inside and outside. Polygonal split ceilings with cantilevers and load-bearing, multi-bent slabs are made of in-situ concrete. All other wall constructions are timber frame structures.
