Element House

ELEMENT HOUSE

Designed by Sami Rintala, this house has a strong relationship with its surroundings and an intriguing combination of materials. 

The house is made up of a series of blocks stacked and manipulated to create interesting opening and extrusions of the built form. The boxes are clad in either timber or metal and this combination creates an interesting materiality. 

The house frames views out and possesses a number of indoor/outdoor courtyard spaces. Openings in the built form manipulate light and create beautiful spaces within the structure. Elements such as these would be desirable in the project 3 design proposal.
