House in Dortmund
Situated in a suburban street in Dortmund, this house stands in stark contrast to the neighbouring developments. Its shimmering silver-grey larch cladding forms a homogeneous skin in which large glazed openings are set flush with the facade. The larch boards are cut to mitre at the corners, so that nowhere is their thickness evident. As a result, the house has a monolithic appearance; and there are no projecting canopies, eaves or rainwater gutters to diminish this effect.
