In this low-energy single-family home, exterior and interior are conceived as a totality.
A compact rectangular volume in which kitchen, sanitary functions, storage space and circulation are combined forms the functional core. Around this volume, an open living area is situated with carefully detailed perforations in the outer facade to establish relationships with the environment.

The front facade is more closed due to orientation and privacy, and the house opens up more towards the garden.
The plan's logic allowed us to deepen the house further in detailing and materiality. In the façades, the main challenge was to incorporate the various elements aesthetically into the vertical wooden latticework.
In the interior, material and colour choices were tailored to the specific functions of the different rooms.
Because of its modest arrangement, the house is in the background in the surrounding green
