50 - 50 ... the house in balance

My round house, the perfect balance between built and not-built, nature and technique: Yin-Yang is the solution. The contours of the house follow a circle. The part most remote from the entry is the smallest, towards the middle the building gets more dominant.
See images for more explanation.

The assignment was to build 50% of a circle of 20 meters. However, only 50% of the house was allowed to be higher than the 5 meters high wall (up to a maximum of 10 meters). Another limitation was that only 25% of the wall could be turned into windows. The living/sleeping area should be fit for two people, and it should include a working space for them.

"50-50" – scale modelDevelopment
Seen from the top the copper façade (with windows in the workspace) is visible which makes a turn. Just around the corner, the entrance is situated. The shape which has a closed character from the outside changes on the inside (the private side) with a transparent glass façade.

The choice was made to make a separation between the kitchen (and dining part) and the living area. The kitchen is at ground level and has a space to take a seat. One can go through the sliding doors to sit outside. The living area is situated completely at the top, a large room with a small bar and a great view. The two bedrooms are projected at the in-between floor. On the plans (black & white drawings under images) all sizes are in millimeters.
