Villa B

We are guided by the idea that simple approaches lead to the most elegant solutions, so our architecture is reduced and clean, with an emphasis on the program itself, i.e. contents and their connections. In the case of Villa B, it was necessary to point out the unusual landscape of the rocky hill overgrown with forest as the highest quality locations, so the object is formed on the edge of a hill and predominantly forest-oriented. This makes that piece of nature extra sheltered from outside views, and thus the interior of the house.

 

In such a complex environment, our desire was to create contrast with architecture. Pure cubic form as opposed to complex found, with the absence of any need for mimicry. Such a juxtaposition showed as an excellent tool for quality relationship and mutual emphasis and respect compared conditions (found-formed).

 

The lower block of the villa is lined with wooden planks in the technique of burning wood. In this way, the wood is preserved by a natural process, i.e. protects against parasites and external influences.

 

The relationship between interior and exterior spaces is based on providing as much natural light with different size opening on the facade. At the top level of the villa you can find the bedrooms and common areas while on the lower level, you can find the living room with kitchen and dining room. The lowest level of the building is reserved for guest area, services and parking lot. The areas on lower level are unified with the terrace, creating a gathering space. Behind the villa there is a pool tucked into the rocky hill and forest.

Villa B

On a lush green and rocky hill, located in the city of Danilovgrad in Montenegro, there was the need to create a residence that its design would oppose the external environment, using materials that take inspiration by it.

Looking at the villa from the outside, the wooden flanks of the elevated ground floor attract the attention of the visitor. Walking below the wooden posts we see a garden table and parking lots, while heading to the interior we see the kitchen, the living room and the dining room.  Above the lower level there is a terrace with a wooden deck that constitutes an open gathering space and meeting point. 
On the upper level of the residence, wood gives its position to concrete. The cubic form of the first floor resurfaces through the forest and its straight, simple lines provide a shape that respectfully contradicts the complex environment. On the interior of the first floor, we find the bedrooms and some shared areas.  
The interior of the residence follows the designing philosophy of the façade. The simplicity is at the forefront and each space has a clear practical usage. It is worth mentioning that the villa has a plethora of windows - some of them with wide spans - and through the advanced aluminium systems the enhancement of the natural lighting and a sense of internal unity is achieved.
The vision of ANDU architects that designed Villa B, was to create a residence with clear architectural identity and minimal approach that could trigger a contrasting dialogue with the external environment of the forest. The outcome offers a harmonious construction that makes the living conditions functional and pleasing.
