‘Truth,’ as English philosopher John Ruskin put it, is a fundamental virtue of architecture. Similar to the exploration of time and existence in art, this inquiry focuses on design and life. It suggests that momentum within the built environment stems from a human-centric approach, while the natural imprints of time enrich a space with charm.

This residence, located within a sustainably designed building featuring energy efficiency and extensive natural ventilation, boasts a fluid, looping layout that embraces panoramic views and promotes interpersonal connections. The authentic materials subtly bridge the human-space interaction, creating a sense of purity, transparency, and tranquility.

Spatial division is simple, with 2 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, and 3 bathrooms across 353 square meters. The organic warmth of stone and wood adds character, comfort, and vitality. Light and shadow interplay, along with material diversity, creates an impression of harmony and clarity.

Designed for an outdoorsy homeowner and avid camper, the home features a peripheral circulation with continuous floor-to-ceiling windows that connect naturally to the scenic surroundings. A lighthearted, human-centered approach fosters easy interaction with the space. The balance of lightness and volume, grounded and floating elements, and voids versus solids creates a composed quality in the open-plan layout.

A semi-suspended, stone-clad TV wall serves as a statement piece, defining the entryway while opening toward the expansive common areas. Display and furniture placement along the L-shaped balcony, which spans the living and dining areas, recedes gracefully, providing a generous pathway for smooth movement. The open kitchen and island-bar allow the family to enjoy unobstructed views while preparing meals. Bedrooms are tailored to each family member’s preferences, ensuring a thoughtful flow that adapts to their needs.
