The wish of the future owners was to create a house in harmony with nature and feng-shui principles. A house that will also provide an outdoor space for exercise and meditation, and a study-observation room on the upper floor overlooking the landscape. From the family's initial feng-shui analysis, it became clear that we would be working primarily with the elements of wood and earth. These were later reflected in the design as slender circular columns carefully hugging the entire ground floor and as an organic, dominant fireplace, creating a safe place for everyone to lean on - creating a real family nest.
We designed the house as a single-storey with a retreated attic. We unified the mass of the house with a covered wooden terrace, which follows the ground floor terrain and creates a smooth transition between the interior and exterior. An important element is the curves of the facade and roofs and the natural materials (wood, stone, green roofs), which only reinforce the feeling that the house is non-violently connected to its environment. The wooden elements in the exterior are mostly made of Siberian larch with no finish and are already getting their first patina.
On the ground floor we placed the main living area - kitchen, dining room and family nest, private zone of the lady and master of the house with bedroom, dressing room and bathroom and other service rooms. In the attic there are two bedrooms and a bathroom for the grown-up children and the master's dream study. The kitchen is connected to the residence terrace surrounded by greenery and herbs.
A sauna with facilities is also accessible from the meditation terrace near the natural pond.
In the interior, at the request of the owners, we emphasized the rounding of the corners of the walls and furniture. With sensitivity and intuition, we based the material recommendations on feng-shui for each sector. We worked with oak (flooring, furniture), bleached spruce (ceiling, interior doors, interior window treatment, playful bookcase) or epoxy squeegees in different colours. The metallic brick squeegee on the organic fireplace was the most striking here. In the master bathroom, we created an arched shower screen in luxfer, complemented by a grey-green squeegee with walnut furniture.
We have solved the parking of cars in a separate covered parking with storage, cellar and garden facilities. This building is separated from the house by a mature birch grove, which we tried to respect in the design.
