Wooden House – Minimalist Design Architecture By Wim Goes
This house is very simple and unique. all components are made of wood and is built above the lake. Located in a tiny hamlet about 10 km from the city of Ghent Belgium, this house designed by an architect named Wim Goes. In this residential structure, Goes created an elegant facade that encompasses both visual and structural grace. The facade is created from slim strips of wood (only 6 x 8 centimeters in cross-section) selected for the straightness of the growth rings in each piece of wood. And although the wood will still warp slightly in the rain and sun, this does not pose a structural problem because the facade does not need to bear wind load — the wind will blow right through the strips. The only structural load the wood strips must carry is the vertical load of the roof.
