The house is designed as a stepped volume, with the intention of making the most of the orientation of the site. Due to its specific shape, the volume shows itself differently from every vantage point.

By stepping back from the plot’s side line, the side strip, which usually remains as a three-metre-wide residual space, can swell into a usable space. The gearing also allows the upstairs bedrooms to look out over the garden past each other, allowing them to turn away from their neighbours while still getting plenty of light and views.

The ground floor threads together three identical rooms, one each shifted opposite the other. This shift gives a diagonal view from the street to the garden side, and along the flat, largely closed side façade leaves room for the darker functions.
