Area 400 m2. Plot 0.30 hectare The project was designed for a young family. The house was conceived as a suburban housing with modern planning solutions and a high degree of comfort, stylized to the classical volume. The first floor has a public function - a large double-glazed living room oriented with glazing on the east and west sides, which allows the tenants of the house to "be present" in all phases of the day.

All rooms have access to the terrace, which accentuates the proximity to nature. Nominee of 2019 eu mies award More
