On the northern sloping plot, from whence there is a beautiful view into the valley, there are now six fully grown trees. The proposed construction of a family house endeavours through its small size and character to integrate itself among these trees. In short, it would thus be possible to label the concept as a ?house in an orchard?. Besides the influence of the garden, also the orientation and slope of the plot had a significant part in the shape and layout resolution.
