Even at a glance, the design for the Greens' house shows it perfectly embodies our motto 'living in and with nature'. Almost all rooms have direct access to a balcony or terrace. These allow occupants to bring nature into the house whenever they want, or even to open up a room to an al fresco area. The extensive roof overhang provides shade when the sun shines, and shelter from wind and rain during bad weather. This striking style also lends the house a smart, modern character.
The family can spend their free time snuggled in the reading corner in front of a roaring fire, either enjoying a good book or the magnificent views. The family room with extensive living, dining and kitchen areas is housed on the top floor. Its open plan, light colours and natural materials combine with the high knee-wall and extensive glazing, for example in the gables and with roof lights, to create a bright and transparent interior. This eco-house invites you to come in and feel at home.

Guests are always welcome and even have their own domain. The guest rooms and study are in the basement, but there all similarity with the traditional cellar ends. The sloping site means both rooms can have French windows, allowing direct access to the terrace and garden.
While the house is open to the garden on all floors, it presents a more closed appearance to the street. A few ribbon windows and some red sliding shutters are the only features to break up the natural larch façade. The architectural language of the building reflects this pattern. From the garden, the house appears imposing and presents many details for closer inspection, such as the roof lights and seating on the balcony. From the street, the emphasis is on straight lines and sleek, timeless elegance.
