This project explores the intersection of angular geometry and refined materiality. By deploying monolithic kitchen blocks and precise material layering, we created a space that balances dramatic form with a restrained, monochrome aesthetic.

About A Wedged Haus: An Interplay of Angles

The kitchen block is the primary anchor of the open-plan layout, but the structural innovation lies in how we detached it from the ceiling. This maneuver prevents the space from feeling enclosed, allowing natural light to filter deeper into the floor plate while transforming a utility volume into a sculptural object.
