Family House, Rakitna
Rakitna, Slovenia
Type
YEAR
2009
SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
The design of the
single family house in Rakitna is conditioned by its location on the edge of a
built area, by the geometry of the allotment, the four cardinal directions and
the views of the surrounding landscape. The house is further defined by its
location in rural Rakitna. Functions in the house are divided across the two
floors – the larger, living area on the ground floor with technical rooms and a
garage on the northern side, and the sleeping area with bedrooms in the attic.
The house is located
on the north-eastern corner of the allotment, at the location of a former farm
building – a wooden hay shed – that was removed.
The house is
designed in both a classical and modern way – its roof is treated as a
clear-shaped triangular prism placed on a wooden volume. The residential part
of the house is covered with a ridged roof at a pitch of 40 degrees, as
stipulated by urban planning requirements. The wooden volume has cut-in
fenestration, with the use of different materials indicating the transition
from the ground floor to the attic. The wooden facade is in direct correlation
with the existing wooden construction of the shed, clad with wooden planks. The
entrance to the house is shifted backwards and this composition allows a small
protection roof to be created above the entrance. A similar element can be
found on the western facade where there is a large panoramic window. It is
foreseen that a stone portal will be transferred from the old house and affixed
to the new entrance.
