iHouse

For this house, the narrow strip of land and the urbanistic rules of the site had a major impact on the location of the building on the site. Starting from the maximum size object (a 16m x 8.85m x 6.25m parallelepiped), incisions were made so as to create intimacy from the neighbors, to create access and to bring optimum lighting in all the rooms. We used eco-friendly materials and high-efficiency thermal insulation; the overlooking windows intend to fully make use of the natural light while diminishing the greenhouse effect.The interior and exterior design is created using simple lines, with contrasting surfaces and a small range of objects. The complex technical elements are hidden away to allow a better understanding of the interior-exterior relation and the elements which are important to the owner.
