It features a closed facade to the north for privacy and large openings towards the south and east for natural light and connection to nature. The design incorporates a horizontal laminated timber frame to preserve sightlines, with all gable surfaces clad in untreated aluminum sheeting. The house's design is customized for clients who have a design background and encouraged bespoke solutions.
Hee House balances a modest footprint with a generous interior scale, designed to respond to the coastal climate, using durable materials and careful orientation.
The design features a closed facade from the north to shield views while large openings on the south and east bring in light and connect interiors to nature.
At only 7 by 7 meters in plan, Hee House reaches 7 meters in height, utilizing a horizontal laminated timber frame to allow clear sightlines.
