The house is located in the centre of a garden, posing like a lizard amidst a sunlit meadow.

The inspiration for the proposal is in fact a chameleon. The eyes – windows - are unrestrictedly observing their sorroundings. The skin – facade - consists of gloss y foil, reflecting verdure and garden. The geometry of the walls is dividing two different spaces within one plot: "the house spaces" and "the garden spaces". "The house spaces" focus on specific tree. "Garden spaces" are invisible sectors from the interior. Every room has its own ambience and view.
