view from the garden

The site of intervention seems awkward at first sight: triangular in form, it is confined on two sides by three-storey high, blind facades. Taking this 3 dimensional ‘Rorsach test’ as a starting point, its symmetry and confinement are both intensified and annulled by one single intervention: a DIN-format plane bent to fit in.
The result, a garden pavilion-and-cave, marries intimacy and a generous garden view. Combined with strategic interventions in house and garden, the scale of the existing is freed up. Like a new wind blowing through the property.
