This project, created by Swiss firm Philippe Stuebi Architects, is set on a really difficult and hugely regulated plot of land. These constraints, plus the owners’; short, have brought out a 4 storey creating with an irregular polygonal shape. Observed from the street side, the property has a a lot more frequent look, with an underground garage an a very neutral facade. The surprise comes when hunting at the home from the sides and from the back, where there are much more irregular shapes plus a bolder mix of colors and textures. Contrary to what one particular would anticipate from such a contemporary house, the interior spaces are not broadly open. Provided the certain shape of the residence and the need for extremely certain rooms, the home is divided vertically and horizontally in numerous smaller spaces, with nicely defined functions. The layout is primarily based on the enfilade principle, where you enter a single room from yet another. This is of course the case for the communal spaces , such as living places, offices or other shared spaces. The private spaces such as the bedrooms are placed strategically in the layout so that they maintain their intimacy. The most impressive portion of the house however is the double storey library nested at the back side of the polygon.
The property is characterized also by a number of access techniques: two staircases and an elevator.One of the staircases depart from the library area leading up to the second storey of the library, but also to the rest of the second floor.
On the initial level, the library follows the shape of the space like a lining to the glass walls. The library is see by means of and its degree of transparency is in fact regulated by how a lot the shelves are filled with books or objects. This bottom component of the library also serves as a show for objects that can be admired from inside or outside.
The floor of the ground floor is covered with white and grey marble all more than. The height of the ceiling varies from space to space, some regions obtaining double height and some single h7 In order to mark the transition from 1 space to yet another, some corridor walls are painted a bold fuchsia color.
The exact same bold fuchsia covers the walls of the carved-in balcony, making it stick out from the white facade of the house.
Even although it is divided into smaller rooms, the residence remains filled with light thanks to a careful placement of windows and overhead lights.
The interior style is rather minimalistic, with properly selected design furniture pieces and artworks.
The outdoors spaces that surround the home on 3 sides are simply accessible by means of sliding glass doors.
This detail image captures the essence of the supplies and colors that characterize the home.
