Breathtaking scenery in practically all directions, each different from the others, called for a different focus towards each of the spectacular views. In order to preserve the nature, the project is raised on pillars without any groundbreaking, thus creating the fifth façade / elevation. The nature and characteristic rocky ridges flow below, making it possible to pass in nature, underneath the house.
Establishing the underside (5th elevation), the cladding (Kebony-wood and Alucoil-metal) is carried out underneath the house as well. When passing underneath, the magnificent surroundings are mirrored in the metal cladding, giving a whole new experience in the relation between a building and nature. When entering the site for the first time, an Eagle feather was discovered at the ridge, this giving the idea for the concept. The house being on stilts, free from the ground, is an interpretation of an Eagle, just landed, inspecting the landscape, and ready to leave anytime.
The house primary gain in the surrounding is that it does not privatize the site or nature, giving all people passing by the opportunity to continue their journey in nature, passing under the house. It is only the load bearing columns and the platform of the house that is made in concrete. The walls of the building, as well as the roof, are carried out in CLT (cross laminated timber). CLT, in combination with excessive use of wood, is environmentally friendly, as it is renewable and as well CO2-binding.
