Special emphasis was given to designing the outdoor spaces. Using modern materials, in a dialogue with the area’s traditional materials: whole stone and coating, pebbles for the exterior flooring, cement in the form of packed soil on ramps and the parking space, porolith on corridors and on the swimming pool.

The goal was to integrate the building in the natural environment, utilization of the view, creation of relaxing spaces and conservation of the existing planting with some additions.

A house that predisposes to calm-relaxation and communion with nature.
