Concrete House Holtet / Larsen

摘要

This villa for a wealthy couple lies on the shore of Lake Mjosa with a northwestern view of the large lake. The shoreline, which is a public recreational area, will sometimes flood, and the water rises up to the lower retaining wall in the garden. Although the grand view played an important role in the design, the facade is not fully glazed, but rather "masked out" with varying openings that are positioned and sized with the treatment in mind of natural light, exterior views, and the intended use of interior spaces.
