A R V A J A Project assessment: The Arvaja House is a "classic" style, contemporary urban villa. It has white plastered walls, dark grey metal roof and wooden parts in oregon pine colour. The form and scale of the building fits well with its site and surroundings. The floor plans comply perfectly with the living requirements and standards of the family. The Arvaja House was done in close co-operation with the client, practicing a high level of user participation through the project. Concluding from the praising comments of the users, the project was considered a great success. |

Arvaja / exterior view in winter This photograph shows Arvaja House exterior in the winter 2003. The roof, the facades and oregon pine coloured wooden detailing are completed succesfully. Some details of the columns, drainpipes and landscaping are to be done in the summertime. Detailing the facades requires a very high level of craftsmanship, that involves masonery, carpentry and metalwork. |
