SWOOSH HOUSE

PAWEL LIS ARCHITEKCI as Architects

The expectation of the investors was to create a small house that would fit well into an intimate plot and its architecture would be distinguished by moderation and uniqueness. The idea for the original form of the house prompted the shape of a boomerang. The house was built in Strzykuły near Warsaw.

On the axis of the elongated first floor, the first floor was set diagonally. Its deviation from the line of the first floor was emphasized by an arched wall. The dynamic form of the house obtained in this way ensured its good positioning with respect to the world sides and gave it the characteristics of uniqueness.

The existing access to the building forced the front to be positioned on the eastern side. The entrance to the house was highlighted by a large corner window.  The openwork staircase leading to the first floor can be seen through it. The living area and bedroom on the first floor open to the west towards the tall greenery. The overhanging first floor with the study and children's rooms curves toward the south. A corner window in the study also allows views to the west.

The house is in the process of installing solar batteries and energy storage. A retention system has been prepared on the plot to collect rainwater for watering the garden. This 220m2 house has the character of a modest pavilion architecture and its unique appearance is determined by the arched overhang of the floor. The building, thanks to its light and “soft” form, fits in well with its surroundings. Looking at it, the pavilion houses built in 1945-1966 in the Case Study Houses program come to mind.
