The idea behind the project is to make a load bearing masonry house that not only has pleasant exterior view but also practical interior space - it has to integrate with the surrounding context and provide appropriate living space within a narrow site with a ÁRRU DUHD OLPLW RI P . 7KH FOLHQW FRXSOHV ZLVK WR OLYH LQ D PRGHUQ KRXVH ZKLFK HQFDSVXODWHV D FHUWDLQ W\SH RI VW FHQWXU\ OLYLQJ DQ LGHDO WR VWULYH towards a simpler life devoid of the distractions of the modern age, but heightened by the quality of the materials and space.
