We just came across a nice video on a private house in Suffolk completed by Dutch architect firm MVRDV. The video gives a nice insight into how architects reach a design solution through indepth site analysis. The architect Winy Maas speaks about how the house relates to the site without actually interfering with it and how the interior relates to the outside in a very sympathetic way. You can see the video below; (Video is copyright of Dezeen & MVRDV)
