A design concept for a small, self-sufficient house — an eco-friendly, isolated retreat from the modern world — breaks the mold by envisioning it more as a fine piece of furniture than as a house. Dutch product designer Frank Tjepkema’s three-story Isolée sits lightly on the ground, touching only at its four legs.
“My approach was the same as if I were making a piece of furniture,” he told FRAME magazine. “Rather than a solid block of concrete for the foundation, for instance, I set the house on an elegant four-legged base, as if it were a cabinet. Minimal footprint.”
