Gallery: House Hafner is a Beautiful L...  This is the area
reserved for entertaining  Built for a couple who likes to
entertain, House Hafner benefits from a private plot at the end
of a blind alley that allowed the designer to create an open
plan space that opens to the verdant outdoors. Almost entirely
surrounded by forest, the futuristic home has two wings: one is
defined by floor to ceiling windows that spill out onto a simple
wooden deck. The second is a little more closed in, but large
square cutouts ensure plenty of daylight reaches the living
spaces held within.  There is a three meter difference between
the two halves of House Hafner, a creative intervention that
helps to explain the home’s bold appearance. The lower, more
“introverted” wing is accessed by a door surrounded by a living
green garage of sorts. Steps leads from there to the ground
level. The interior is open, filled with light, and furnished
with contemporary pieces that maintain a sense of subtlety. Wow.
We love this house.  + Hornung
