Safe Haven

Location: Vancouver Island, Canada

Function: A house for myself

The route towards this house is a route of escaping the city and finding nature. The path is a straight line which continues through the building. Some restricted viewing points provide the change of going from an enclosed area, city, to an open space, nature. The route through the building connects all different spaces and rooms. The differences between the rooms are bound to changes of the terrain. Spaces are placed on the rocks without damaging nature. The nature is part of the house. Outside and inside intertwine. Outside is part of the rooms and the rocks are part of the house. The use of the grey wooden facade is in contrast and consistency of the rocky grey landscape.

Outside and inside intertwine

The rocky landscape will form the hight differences in the house

The grey wooden facade in contrast and consistency of the rocky grey landscape. Two different hardness and emotions.
