COMPLETELY OPEN TO ITS SURROUNDINGS. The OPENhouse is designed as a large 3 x 10m caravan with a fully transparent and openable façade on one long side. All facilities are located in a long furniture wall, elements from this can be folded in or out as required. Curtains provide the necessary space separation and privacy. The OPENhouse positions itself at an edge of the plot so that it fully faces the surroundings. It can be used as an outdoor cottage in summer and linked to the permanent home as a guest house or workspace/atelier in winter.
