The story of a family that found their own light within a home
When the world suddenly became too small, they chose to widen it. The pandemic, four people confined in a flat, two restless teenagers, and parents craving air and quiet. It was in that suspended moment that the desire for a different kind of home was born. A place that allowed them to breathe, a place capable of bringing the sky within its walls.
That house appeared among the trees, modern and bright, yet surprisingly warm. One Buro designed it without being bound to a single stylistic language: classical forms coexist with contemporary lines, while every detail seems to invite the light to enter. Its heart is a three-by-three-metre glass ceiling in the living room: a transparent square that catches the dawn, follows the day and, at night, opens onto the stars.
The interior is a tribute to nature: oak, stone, earthy and sandy shades, and terracotta accents that warm the atmosphere like an ancient hearth. The bioethanol fireplace sets the tone for gentle, mellow evenings.
But the most astonishing element lives and breathes at the centre of the house: a four-metre-tall purple-leaf cherry plum tree that changes with the seasons. In autumn, it releases a shower of leaves; in spring, it fills with sap.
In short, a home that tells the story of a family that chose to slow down, to look at one another, to listen to what silence revealed. This home speaks of light, breath, and balance.
But how much space do we truly need to feel free, and how often is it enough simply to let the sky finally enter a room?
