Villa

The house is situated on a steep slope at the edge of a forest. The cascading form with several receding terraces above emerged from the slope of the terrain. The main living area of the house is projected forward on concrete stilts into the garden space.
The complexity of the floor plan was also influenced by the desire not to fell nearly any trees on the property (rather to avoid them, or to pass their trunk through an opening in the concrete slab of the terrace) and to preserve the original configuration of the terrain.
The layout of the house is based on the wishes and needs of a five-member family, with a guest room and a separate study on the top floor. The arrangement includes open common spaces with transverse views, terraces with distant panoramas, while simultaneously respecting the privacy of individual family members, i.e., blending openness with intimacy.
The structure of the house is a combination of concrete ceiling slabs and Ytong walls. The facade is clad with fireclay bricks and sanded spruce boards. The windows are made of spruce, and ash battens were used for the boards. The built-in furniture is made of ash.
The fundamental principle from which the project originated is the effort to adapt as much as possible to the terrain and the place, to integrate rather than contrast with the surrounding nature.
