Folding Walls

Within an enclosed intimate urban courtyard, near the city centre and in front of a small green area, these freestanding patio-villas have been built. The ‘folding walls-setup' colonizes the space between built elements, gardens and nature. A wooden wall folds itself to define the villas, the patios, the gardens and the urban elements, enclosing different spaces with different "atmospheres". The double height living room can be completely opened towards the patio and the garden, and becomes part of the outside landscape.
