Made mostly from timber, the design simplicity of this home, as described by Flammer himself, was used to show the “different ways of perceiving the landscape surrounding it”. With only two floors, this home encourages the calming atmosphere of the vast landscapes by way of continuous window work on the ground floor. The top floor consists of the bedrooms and other living quarters that allow for an even better view of the rolling fields.

With the exterior and interior framework of this home being made out of natural materials, it makes it oh so easy to really melt into the tranquil environment. Who wouldn’t want a home that encourages this? The design simplicity of this home allows for the things that really matter to be put in perspective. Simple is better!
