LUX / design process
The design process is done with a combination of the classic design methods combined with the new digital media. Currently LUX is under concept design, which is later followed by the design phase. The program for the house and for the use of the site is done with digital mindmapping.

In this visualization, LUX is seen from the approach to the site. On the left is the sauna building by the lakeshore, in the middle the main building itself and on the right the carport. The neighbours are shown in dark colours.

LUX / effect of neighbour
This image shows the effect of the neighbouring buildings (dark) next to the LUX site. The size and height of the neighbours cast long shadows on the LUX site, which has to be take into account in designing of the buildings and their openings.

LUX / southside entry
The entry to LUX is between the carport (right) and the horizontal canopy. The scale of the main building is according to the zoning regulations. The lakeside sauna isseen in between the buildings to the left.

LUX / entrance
This image shows the effect of the neighbouring building (left) on the LUX entry area. The size and height of the neighbouring house cast shadows to the narrow space beween buildings. The entrance "square" will be illumniated by led-lights in pavement stone blocks.

LUX / view from the Lake Pyhäjärvi
LUX seen from the Lake Pyhäjärvi. The main building (center) extends its lookouts and terraces towards the open views of the lake as well as borders efficently the eastern edge of the building site. Outdoor space is created between the main building and the lakeside sauna (right).

LUX / facade towards east
The modern shape of LUX is revealed towards the eastern neighbour and to the Lake Pyhäjärvi. The carport (left) runs along the edge of the site and the main building along the north-south axis.
