Project description: The Taipale House was designed in 2002. The task was to design a moderate cost single-family house for a four person family. The program emphasised the kitchen-dining area as well as the spaceous dressingroom and kitchenette. The house took its form from a Jedi troop transporter: the plan composition can be expressed in three to five lines. |
