Half Dose #31: Z-House

As an extension of this week's dose by Denmark's 3XN, here we feature the work of that office's former competition design managing architect Eve Harlou.

The Z-House is a 700 sm (7,500 sf) single-family residence in Risskov, Denmark.

The design is composed about an S-curve, visible in model above but also this elevation.

This S-curve continues into the arrangement of rooms in the floor plan, whereby outdoor "rooms" are created, especially towards the back of the house.

A feature wall abutting the stair creates an anchor for the house, a kind of eye of the swirling around it.
