Villa Faun has a basic pitched-roof house shape, that is developed according to the functions and surroundings. The roof, together with Northern and Southern facades create a massive wooden envelope. The other two facades contrast with the envelope in form, material and colour. These facades feature playful extrusions and intrusions that give individual identity to each unit. Due to the sloping terrain, volumes are designed with split-levels, so that both apartments on the ground floor could get straight into the garden. The split level also allows extra height for the upper apartments which provides generous spaces.
