The request of the principal was to build a rural manor, inspired by the American model. In order to realise this, significant points of departure played a role, amongst other the location and the use of the lot. Because of the location, the residence forms the visual end point of the street, and it overviews rural scenery from two sides. The house is visible from a great distance, both from the street and the surrounding fields, and it is always approached very gradually. In the interior, both the internal experience of the residence and the relations with the surrounding were emphasised. The covered terraces are higher than the surrounding grassy fields and deeper into the facade, hence offering perspective to the views and giving a withdrawn and sheltered feeling in the openness of the surrounding.
