The design is located near the beach, replacing an older group of buildings with a contemporary structure that blends into the natural landscape. It represents a combination of traditional architecture and modern design elements. The goal is to create a functional space that encourages community interaction while ensuring individual privacy and comfort for residents.

Design Concept

The central idea features east-west gable roofs, which enhance the building's horizontal appearance and allow for maximum sunlight. At the core of the design is an enclosed courtyard that serves as a gathering space, offering a place for residents to come together while also providing access to the outdoors. Living areas face south to capture the sun, promoting a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Spatial Arrangement

Inside the guest house, two identical symmetrical apartments are laid out to facilitate movement and interaction. Living spaces are oriented toward the courtyard, while studio spaces open toward the north and the lake. This arrangement creates a peaceful environment for work, allowing the communal lounges to be used without disturbing residents in the studio.

Material and Structure

The building utilizes a wooden frame construction, which is supported by load-bearing and ventilated floor bases. This choice helps ensure structural stability while maintaining a connection to the environment. The design also incorporates natural ventilation through strategically placed shafts, improving air quality inside. An additional storage shed in the yard organizes waste disposal and maintains outdoor items, enhancing overall utility for residents.

Design Detail

The slope of the land is utilized to elevate the studio space, offering unique views of the surrounding area and creating a clear distinction between living areas. This elevation not only enhances the internal organization of spaces but also contributes to a peaceful and adaptable environment. The studio’s self-contained features further support this, making it a practical choice for focused work and relaxation.
