The Hideaway Home | ACOS

It is a story about a modest, non-imposing design aiming to provide an individually crafted space for family life. The aspiration was to create a refuge allowing one to detach from the urban hustle and bustle, to disconnect from the overwhelming overload of information both in the physical but also digital realm. Hence the goal was to design a hideaway where one can enjoy a peaceful place that gives the users a luxury of the individual interpretation of time and space.

The apartment is a geometrical composition of blocks and surfaces entirely carved in raw materials such as timber, concrete, microscreed and stone. 

Every aspect was carefully analysed to encourage the coherent and holistic design approach where the boundary between interior design, objects and exterior are blurred and sometimes even lost.

The detail is almost non-existent – it is purely the materiality of the geometrical objects and the relationship between them that define the aesthetics and functionality of the place.
