Project
Bridge House of Gliding Light
Nomination
About the project
The southern façade with terraces face the lake, and the northern façade faces the entrance group. Facades are contrasting: in the north, there are vertical lamellae with “alive ornament” (which becomes visible once a day under the gliding rays of the Eastern sun), and in the south, there are sun-protecting rolling shutters and blinds.
The bridge house implies a bridge connection adults and juniors. The linking element of this bridge is the sitting room: on the left, there is an entrance for parents, and on the right – for the kids.
The project follows the principles of organic architecture by Alvar Aalto. Pines as construction material and granite from a close pit are the components used to build the house, fitting into the existing hills and accompanying guests to a sightseeing platform at the lake.
