Flexhouse

Flexhouse is a single-family home on Lake Zurich in Switzerland.

The resulting building with its wide walls of glass and a ribbon-like white façade is so light and mobile in appearance that it resembles a futuristic vessel that has sailed in from the lake and found itself a natural place to dock.

Junghee Lee tried to divide a large floor space into several small spaces. For this purpose, the architect set the basic direction as a skip floor, and it is a two-story building, but it actually became a space of four floors up to the outside deck on the roof.
