We faced the task of creating a modern private house that would consider the traditions and lifestyle of future users.
The entrance to the house is designed through a tambour, as this is a necessity due to the vast temperature difference between winter and summer. We connected a spacious garage to the entrance area. Then, there is a cooking room that leads to the kitchen. In the left wing of the house, there is a spa area with a sauna, hammam, and gym. The functionality of the common area is standard for us — this is a spacious kitchen with an island and a large dining table.
The second floor is a console: from the courtyard, it forms a veranda with its overhang; from the street, it serves as a canopy. We often use this technique in our projects: such a solution looks fresher and more modern than separate canopy structures. The roof of the first floor is partially used as a terrace. There is an additional area for outdoor recreation.
A large area of glazing creates a connection between nature and the interior. The windows let natural light into the room, granting a sense of spaciousness and freedom.
