业主们想要建造一座有很多玻璃的房子，以便能看到花园的开阔景色，但他们也想要一种温暖的感觉：舒适的家庭住宅。结果就是“舒适的玻璃房子”。建筑师用木制的柱子和巨大的玻璃表面建造了一个结构。垂直板和水平板的组成使建筑物具有永恒和平静的特征。

The owners wanted to build a house with a lot of glass to have a open view on the garden but  they also wanted a warm feeling : a cosy family house.  the result is the ‘cosy glass house’. The architect created a structure with a grid of wooden columns and large glass surfaces.  The composition of the vertical and horizontal slabs gives the building a timeless and calm character .
