Designed as a meeting and resting place for the family, this project responds to the client’s desire for a house that blends into the landscape and is invisible to passersby.
GAK is a home centered around a courtyard, where the main architectural program is distributed in small pavilions. Meeting and leisure areas are surrounded by movable glass panels, allowing them to be fully integrated with the garden, creating a visual connection and a shared living experience. The bedroom core is protected by an independent circulation created by vertical wooden elements that separate it from the garden, while balconies open to the external landscape.
From the very first sketch, an intimate relationship between the building and the landscape was evident. A green roof extends from the street in continuity with the existing topography of the site. A large balcony juts out, widening the view across the landscape and engaging residents with nature. Beneath this, the architectural program is divided into linked cores. These have been carefully positioned around the internal garden, which is the heart of the building.
