Bigovo house is a seaside family house located in Bigovo, Montenegro. As requested by the local municipality, the house had to be built on the exact place of the remains of an old Adriatic stone house, not exceeding its 60 sqm footprint. A new house had to be "injected" into the old house volume and act as a typical one storey stone house from the road side, having no windows on the upper floor on that side of the house. Within these limited conditions, we came up with a design that offers a new understanding of local architectural heritage. The unrevealing stone façade on the road side of the house unfolds towards the garden into a contemporary holiday home that corresponds with the local context in the most natural way. With its double height features and open plan ground floor that expands outside for the outdoor living, a stimulating interior is created that is able to accommodate a family of four and despite a small footprint area, the house is perceived as comfy and spacious.
