Wege House (Strand Huset)


Symphonic House - Bill Close - MASS Ensemble The house as musical instrument, this house responds to life and environment to shape sound and provide unique acoustic identity beyond the photographic senses to each space within. Energy and Sustainability are key to the fabric of the enclosure. Innovation and tactile quality have been emphasized. Musical wind harps by Bill Close, MASS Ensemble. Rather than paint the interior in fixed colors, an innovative lighting system will provide shades of any color.
