Although this house is apparently still in the stages of development, this is because the whole house looks rough concrete walls and wood-like timber which has not been painted, turned her back on the road north of urbanity and open to enjoy the beautiful parks, the warm sunshine at the daylight, beautiful light in the night and privacy.
From the designer: “This was a complex task that requires the participation of various institutions and meetings with many participants. A daunting task, but not necessarily the case. For some people, 200 + 100 equals 300, This forced us to make some corrections to what had seemed obvious mathematically, because it was not, at least for some people. As usual in this country, it was only a matter of time, waste of time. The mathematical question has been resolved and the possibility of constructing obtained.”
