‘project ferson’ is a single family residence within a rural area of tildonk in haacht, belgium by belgian practice collectiv4 architects. the inhabitant’s perception from the interior viewing outwards dictated a monolithic volume with an irregular footprint and angled roofline to provide different experiences and prospects from each room. placement of square openings within the facade strategically directs focus towards an adjacent field and encompassing natural landscape. the varied thicknesses of the exterior’s vertical lumber paneling further conceals the home’s simple and low-energy interior. the internal circulation generates a pleasing flow for dwellers.
