A single-family house was built in the villa district of Słupsk along the former Słupia river bed. The long plot is bordered to the north by a picturesque forest that stretches over many kilometers. The unique location and the Investor's guidelines prompted for remarkable architectural and spatial solutions. The original idea of ​​the client was to create a so-called contemporary barn, a homogeneous body of the house with a gable roof and a wooden facade. The interior, on the other hand, should connect the life of the household around a common space, open to the forest stretching along the house, but at the same time allow for an intimate space for each of the residents.

During the initial design works, a number of spatial compromises that were difficult to accept by the Investor appeared, contradicting the planned vision of the life of the future household members. It turned out that only the "deconstruction" of the original assumption and then the synthesis of all ideas in a form that could be called a broken barn or a farmhouse type met all the requirements.

The house consists of 7 independent parts connected by a common space. Each of the parts has a separate function and is connected with the common space in a more or less direct way. The body of the house consists of seven separate houses / barns with gable roofs, seemingly arranged randomly in relation to each other.

In fact, the manner of their location, dimensions and the level of openness to the surrounding space is the sum of in-depth studies of spatial and functional relations between them, the relationship with the external environment and the aesthetics of the entire composition of the house.

Despite very bold aesthetic solutions and undermining the original assumptions, a house was created that met all the investor's needs, and also gave a feeling of utter uniqueness, guaranteeing unforgettable spatial and aesthetic experiences for household members and numerous visitors.
