PERISCOPE - Look Further = See More

Void & Mass Villa - Architecture of synthesis

A monolithic villa harmoniously blended into the forest surroundings on the outskirts of the city of Będzin. Context and site conditions The design of the contemporary villa at the edge of the Łagisza Forest in Będzin is a refined response to the specific geographical and urban conditions of the site, as well as to the needs of the family who will live in this house. The location of the development on the outskirts of the city, in the immediate vicinity of forest complexes such as the historic Łagisza Forest, defines the primary design vector: the pursuit of harmony between a raw, anthropogenic form and the organic environment.
