can sustainable architecture bring us closer to nature?
The farm was brought with the idea of creating an ecologically balanced environment with maximum use and recycling of local materials. The house has an organic quality with a unified interior space instead of segregated, isolated rooms. Every space in the house has a high utilization factor with multiple functions. The requirements were worked out as activities and not as rooms. The house was designed to grow around the five existing trees, and integrate them in the built environment. The inside and outside spaces mingle with each other.
