Via: +mood
The house is located in a 1-hectare site of fairly rectangular shape. Developed along the Eastern margin of the site, which runs adjacent to the road, it is structured around two axes cutting in an oblique angle.The first axis, following the North-South direction, organizes the rooms in the house around a series of intersecting volumes that give rise to the different inside and outside spaces.The second axis, materialized in a pergola or beam running in East-West direction, determines the relation between the building and the spaces surrounding the house.The neatness of the design is enhanced with the clean choice of finishes.

Walking House

You needn't buy a house, you just have a Walking House. By N55.

"WALKING HOUSE is a modular dwelling system that enables persons to live a peaceful nomadic life, moving slowly through the landscape or cityscape with minimal impact on the environment. It collects energy from its surroundings using solar cells and small windmills. There is a system for collecting rain water and a system for solar heated hot water. A small greenhouse unit can be added to the basic living module, to provide a substantial part of the food needed by the Inhabitants. A composting toilet system allows sewage produced by the inhabitants to be disposed of. A small wood burning stove could be added to provide CO2 neutral heating. WALKING HOUSE forms various sizes of communities or WALKING VILLAGES when more units are added together. WALKING HOUSE is not dependant on existing infrastructure like roads, but moves on all sorts of terrain."

Built in the style of architecture of the 1970’s, the house was renovated several times following a traditional approach to the house design by converting large open spaces to a cellular room design. The renovation reopened the ground floor so that it became an open loft-like space from front to back (the house is about 70′ long).
