The first thing a person notices when entering your domicile sets the tone. Of course, how this 'dominion' comes to life varies from habitation to domicile. The first thing someone might find could exist your favorite piece of artwork hanging in the corner, the amount of natural lighting, a view of the body of water in the distance, or it could be a messy shoe rack and markings on the wall. Whatever the case may be, for Danish architect Tommy Rand'southward family home, he was sure to make the habitation's main effect, a handmade, spiral staircase, visible fifty-fifty before walking through the front door.

Somewhere in Aarhus, Denmark, Tommy Rand both designed and constructed his family's home out of physical and Norwegian Skifer rock, along with the home'south interiors and most of its wooden furniture. The concrete domicile consists of five blocks, each one peaking from different angles, creating the subtle illusion of looking toward a tiny urban center's skyline. The cluster of blocky rock perches dons a multi-tone brick exterior, with a smooth concrete finish, and offers elevated, semi-enclosed deck areas with views of the surrounding neighborhood. Looking through the home's broad, ground-level window, its stone-cold mental attitude is soon visually warmed up even before walking through the front end door. From the home'southward front-facing window, Tommy Rand'southward manus-constructed spiral staircase provides a warm welcome.

Made from 630 pieces of CNC-cutting plywood, the spiral staircase was assembled and glued inside Rand's physical domicile for truthful measurements and onsite adjustments. The staircase itself exudes playfulness and indicates a family residing inside the abode'due south sturdy and thick physical facades. The combination of Norwegian Skifer stone and physical otherwise works to balance out the staircase's gentler wooden accents with an overarching cool and hearty tone. The concrete's immensity feels stable, mighty, and calming while the rich, subtly stained wooden accents bring the home's interiors to life with rustic warmth, artfulness, and changing textures. Moving through the home, glazed windows let in natural light to ricochet from the glossy, wooden cabinets, tables, and doors that sprout between cool gray, concrete panels.

Concrete homes are generally known to exist more energy-efficient with proper insulation caused either through insulating cream or other thermal insulating methods. The thick physical equips the home with innate forcefulness and durability, providing a solid base for proper, sustainable insulation to keep the home warm during colder months and cool during the summertime season. Even when it comes to literal warmth and coolness, from every corner of this habitation, it seems that a looming, libation properties built from concrete naturally invites the heat that comes with a wooden finish.
