DOMM

The house consists of one above-ground and one underground floor, but from the street it looks like a single-storey house.

The usable area reaches a total of almost two hundred square metres on both floors, which also include a garage, two bathrooms, a corridor, a staircase and a gallery. At first glance, there is no utility room or laundry room. But the DOMM is fully intelligent, full of sensors and sensors and is connected to a heat pump with heat recovery.

Structurally, it is a jigsaw of prefabricated panels. The internal spaces are strictly defined by their width in the 1200 mm module. For example, the room module consists of three panels, the bathroom module only two, the living room five.

Material austerity is characteristic of DOMM. The architects were keen to stay in the form of a rough building. The three hundred millimetre thick concrete bricks on the façade, laid in a strict military grid, refer to the materiality of the 1970s cabin plinths, which are recognisable at first glance on the surrounding buildings. The only material contrasts in the interior are the built-in white furniture blocks and the machined wooden floor. The staircase, handrail, and admitted beam are steel.

In terms of layout, the kitchen is vertically connected to the entrance floor, which gives the space an airy and unique feel. It is the central space of the house. The west-facing wooden terrace is connected to the kitchen, dining room, living room and bedroom. Sliding glass walls frame the view of the landscape like a painting.

The terraced garden overcomes the height level of six meters only by means of grassed ramps with massive steel curbs. Lush vegetation designed with sustainability and biodiversity in mind gives the architecture a Nordic character.
