Family villa with a view of the pond’s surface
The family house is located in a small village with a view of a nearby pond. The plot is oriented along the north–south axis, with the main entrance situated on the southern side. The view of the pond faces north.
The concept of the house is based on a simple roof slab supported by wall blocks. These walls extend beyond the interior volume, naturally blurring the boundary between the interior and exterior. This fundamental idea is further enhanced by large-format windows and interior and exterior doors extending from floor to ceiling.
The layout is highly generous in scale. In addition to a double-height space with a gallery and a living area featuring a large library, the house offers a private wing with a walk-in wardrobe, bedroom, and bathroom for the parents, rooms for children and guests, a small fitness area with sanitary facilities, a spacious two-car garage, and a large workshop.
The individual spaces are functionally and visually divided by straight walls running through the house, distinguished by different materials.
The exterior materiality of the load-bearing walls combines horizontal wooden cladding with large-format fibre cement façade panels in a natural tone.
The roof slab is designed as a clean white horizontal plane with overhangs and skylights that bring daylight into the central parts of the layout.
The dominant interior material is an exposed concrete floor, openly expressing its imperfect yet authentic character. It is complemented by built-in and freestanding oak elements and cabinetry, decorative plaster finishes, and fine white heraklith panels in the ceiling plane.
