Thanks to the insulating properties of the earth, the house is highly energy-efficient. It remains cool in summer and comfortably warm in winter. A heat pump, solar water heaters, and CO₂-controlled ventilation further contribute to a sustainable indoor climate. The green roof not only provides additional insulation but also preserves the overall amount of greenery on the site.
Designed as a split-level structure, the interior spaces flow seamlessly into one another. No hallways or enclosed compartments, but a continuous space stretching across two levels, offering surprising sightlines. The wooden superstructure rests on a concrete basement shell, which is anchored directly into the sandy dunes without the need for traditional foundations.
