Alexander Velgan has completed OT Residence, a 295-square-metre conceptual residential project located in New Zealand. The space and design concept of the house was influenced by the special qualities of the site. The environment is a major concern.
OT house, hidden in hills, dunes and surrounded by forest on one side and ocean on the other. Raw concrete and wood slats blend with the sandy background of pine trees to dissolve the home. Entering the natural environment, the boundaries of objects are removed, allowing for the combination of inside and outside.
On the ground floor of the house, public areas flow around the main hall, connected by a staircase that is double height and has skylights, creating a sense of continuity and dynamic space. By capturing daylight, the environment penetrates the object, filling the space with light that reflects changes in the weather and environment. Alexander Velgan studio's goal was to create a space that feels calm, a space without any distractions. The interior design is directly related to the architectural expression of the house, and the space reflects the unity of building materials and the interaction of volumes and voids of the building.
