The competition gave the unique opportunity to design an experimental house without considering building regulations. It had to be simple and cost efficient, but shouldn't renounce quality, luxury and space. Therefore we thought of a compact home, but with a big usable surface area. By using new technologies, we introduce rotating parts, which make walls and ceilings accessible. Two spheres and two spirals are integrated like ball bearings. As a result, the useable surface area increases by 40%. It's possible to manipulate the space instantly, without changing from one room into the other room.

All the furniture is integrated in design, attached to floors walls and ceilings. Therefore the function of the space changes, while the spheres and spirals are turned. In the spheres sit and sleep landscapes provide different settings in shape, illumination and views. The spirals work as turning paravents separating rooms from each other without doors.

The technique used is borrowed from the prototyping industry. That's necessary in order to reach the precision required for the rotating parts and the furniture. A computer controlled milling machine will make the shape out of polystyrene, which will be covered with a coating of glass fibre and epoxy. The result is a light, stiff and highly insulating building.

Construction of the building will start end of 2007 in Almere, the Netherlands.

Born as a result of absolved Fashion Design Studies at the Düsseldorf AMD and grown out of an esthetical feeling that design should never just be a mass of compatible copies of good-running industrial trends, the label found its place between the chairs right from the start. Young fashion? Street fashion? The answer is yes and no in capital letters because the road that one goes between Paris and Halfpipe, Milan and Club culture reflects again all the possibilities of a personal, individual life with a large amount of real everyday credibility.

This design of rectilinear boxes moves from one end to the other like an ancient geometric pattern, yet it is deconstructed in an asymmetrically modernist manner without the literal repetition of a typical frieze. The juxtaposition of materials (walnut and powder coated steel) also creatively embraces the notion of complimentary opposites.

Wallpaper* Eva Harlou to be “Best Breakthrough Designer 2007”.

It was soon after graduating from the Aarhus School of Architecture in 2003 that Eva Harlou found herself playing a key role at Copenhagen architects 3XN, where she managed competition entries and gained a vital understanding of how the architecture world functions. After working on potential schemes all over Europe, she set up her own studio in 2006, focusing on small-scale residential work as well as giant masterplans with the ambition of working on every aspect of the built environment.

In Eva Harlou’s mind architecture is both handcraft and art. Most of all architecture is framing human life. With architecture comes a great responsibility of trying to understand the human nature. Her philosophy is that architecture has to be both functional, durable and beautiful. Furthermore she finds it very important that architecture reveals a clear and understandable concept – tells a simple story. Eva Harlou doesn’t believe that “less is more”, but she enjoys when simple and beautiful geometrical shapes solve all challenges in a project. Architecture doesn’t have to be difficult and innovative architecture doesn’t have to look like something exploded.

Especially Eva Harlou’s housing-projects have lately drawn a lot of attention. The architecture projects are innovative, genuine and very recognizable with her interpretation of classical geometrical shapes.
