The remote location in the midst of a seemingly endless landscape and under a vast sky demanded an adequate design response. The result is an introvert structure that gathers all functions under one roof as if to protect inhabitants and property from the rigour of nature’s elements. An archetype is the traditional agricultural building, which it resembles in its simplicity and unpretentiousness.
The living space is ordered around a central courtyard. The courtyard provides an outdoor extension of the interior living space, protected from wind and view.
A tall tree is planted in the courtyard, symbolically anchoring the building, which would otherwise be lost in the vastness of the surrounding environment.
