Client brief: A small, cozy solar passive studio apartment to sit within the landscape of the 5 acre rural lot, for weekend escapes.
Designed for simplistic living, this apartment allows north facing valley views from the living, bedroom and en-suite creating a light comfortable retreat naturally heating during winter, yet protected from the scorching summer sun by the overhanging roofline . Whilst only 50 square meters in floor area, the expanse of the windows creates a spacious interior with a minimalist fit-out, perfect for slow weekends.
