Cantilevered Life

My beloved Frank Lloyd Wright inspiration. This house is built over an extreme slope in the landscape. There is a terrain difference of at least 10 meters. This means that the garden is in fact something green that floats around down there, at the foot of the slope. As a consequence the outdoor life takes place on the giant cantilevered terrace, that can carry at least 100 people without the slightest vibration. It is in direct connection with the house, so the indoor / outdoor life is cared for as best as possible. The house itself is a collection of fully vaulted saddle roofs with large overhangs that slide into each other. They form the direction of the house and creates a good large covered parking area.

The terrain difference of the plot is also reflected inside the house, where the entrance hall, kitchen and parents' section are on the entrance level and the living room and the large children's rooms are 4 steps lower.

The core of the house is a large raw brick wall, which contains a wardrobe and technology hideaway on one side, and forms a "back" towards the living room.

The roof tiles are rectangular, tight and form horizontal lines, just as every 5th line of brick is pressed in 2 cm, to give a shadow effect, and highlight the horizontal.
