The deliberate distance from the social fabric of the local community on the one hand and the controlled openness to chosen relationship structures on the other generate a house with a dual constellation: a symbolic, brick-built quadrangle for living, laid out according to the cardinal directions, and a wooden section developed according to local structures as an arrival, work, and guest area.
