Villa N

The design for Villa N embeds a spacious single-family home into the landscape of the park-like property. As a deliberately two-story volume, it blends harmoniously with the landscape tapestry of the surrounding park property: it is part house, part habitable landscape, thus reducing the visual impact of the large space program to the mature surroundings.

The building is nestled into the site in such a way as to frame and stage the most beautiful views to the various directions. All bedrooms and main living spaces face south toward the park. The kitchen and living areas are placed in a visual axis to the river as a central part of the project. The view is framed by trees and parkland and oriented to the setting western sun.

Due to the alignment with the natural position of the sun, the character of the rooms is primarily characterized by brightness. Roof overhangs, external sun protection and internal curtain systems allow performative control of the energy input. With its form, the building volume organizes the site into different spaces, each with its own character and identity. The quality of these spaces is concentrated in the central living kitchen - the center of life in this house. From here, family and friends can experience the totality of the various indoor and outdoor spaces.
