The plot situated next to the forest has only one drawback – southwestern access.
In order to avoid interference between the garden and the driveway, the road has been immersed into the ground. The entrance part is located 2.5 metres lower than the garden level. Consequently, the whole house is arranged on ramp.
Its rolled shape results in smooth movement from the entrance situated on the north to the living space open to the south, located on the garden level. Farther on the ramp leads up to the private space raised above ground.The floor inside becomes an extension of the driveway while the green roof is a natural continuation of the garden.
