C-House

Closely related to the site, the house does not distinguish itself from the existing retaining walls, thus becoming an anomaly in the neighbourhood.

Height restrictions assign the house an exceptional role and raise the question of their spatial presence. Formerly woodland, the plot has already been domesticated through peripheral concrete elements. On three sides, concrete walls continue these elements and support an inner wooden structure. The resulting house connects to everything in its surroundings – except to other buildings.

The continuation of the existing in-situ concrete structure defines a private space, protected from the street. The part of this space within the new walls, shaped like a bracket, is the house itself—constructed from timber frames and featuring interior cladding of painted MDF. What lies outside this bracket-shaped area, while still confined by the existing walls, is the garden.
