Neighbours

As mentioned earlier, the zone where the house is being built is protected – in the centre of the village, on a slope, surrounded by old farm buildings.  This imposed a far more traditional design on the outside of the building.  The neighbours can clearly be seen on this shot.

 

Fortunately these design restrictions weren’t necessary on the inside.  The minimalism of the interior has references on the outside – the cladding can be seen as modern in it’s precision – but the traditional features dilute the effect.  In the end the design keeps its inner calm to itself.
