Villa Extension
To create a functional extension while respecting the historic villa, we propose establishing an equal relationship between the villa and the new garden house. From the historic lakeside, the iconic villa remains the focal point, overlooking the prominent landscape. On the entrance side, the garden house is positioned to clearly mark the entrance and main access point for different users.

CLADDED IN WOOD
Above the basement level, the Garden House is constructed as a lightweight structure with load-bearing structures primarily made of wood in a combination of CLT walls, CLT decks, glulam columns, and structural timber. Exposing the wood as much as possible, our vision has been to create a positive and welcoming building that the residents feel comfortable in.

Cross Laminated Timber
The building’s rounded corners are achieved by cutting CLT elements into smaller faceted parts, which are then assembled to form round corners harmonising with the visible CLT walls inside. Externally, narrower cedar boards are used around the corners, giving a unified appearance all around the building.

LIVING SPACES
The garden house features common living areas between the individual apartments, with balconies offering views of the garden and nearby lake. Residents can access the garden directly from their living rooms.
