A modest size family home, built on a site within a new housing development on the outskirts of the village of Halouny. The exterior form with a distinctive cantilever reflected its construction system: cross laminated timber panels stretched to the limits of their structural performance. We ‘forgot ’ to include supporting pillars to the upper level, but it transpired that none were necessary. Wood was also used extensively as panelling on interior walls and ceilings. The house is being gradually surrounded by a recently established garden, as well as other buildings, but its distinctive shape, further emphasized by grey fibre-cement façade, would be hard to beat.
