The landscape in which the newly designed house by Z3Z ARCHITEKCI is to be built is so strong and uncompromising that it dictated next steps during the design process from the outset. After all, the suburban brick house is located on a plot of land in the middle of a dense pine forest. The austerity and consistency pursued by the architects can be seen in both the form of the designed building and its finishing materials.
The house consists of two main volumes connected by a connecting link with the communication zone and the garage. The day and night blocks are analogous. Both have the same width, roof pitch and finishing material. The difference between the two volumes is the spatial arrangement and the window openings. The night block has been placed on a strong base in the form of a communication link and the economic zone. The entire composition is balanced and creates a clear, simple form. The ascetic character of the blocks was broken by the use of a protruding horizontal glazing over the kitchen cabinets.
A clinker brick with a rough texture and unusual length became the ideal material to reflect the raw context of the surroundings. The pitched roofs were covered with flat ceramic tiles in a graphite shade. The façade of the economic zone was finished with fibre-cement panels in a dark grey shade, which emphasises its cold, technical character, but at the same time, in opposition to the naturalistic brick, adds an elegant tone to the building. In addition, natural-coloured timber boarding was used in the undercuts near the terraces to warm up the overall design. The canopy over the entrance, which naturally flows into the interior with the same finishing material, also forms a canopy over the seating area on the terrace on the other side of the building.
The building's main glazing faces the plot and the forest on it. The living area, including the circulation area, is almost entirely glazed. This, together with the smooth transition of the external finishing materials into the interior, blurs the boundary between the interior of the house and its surroundings.
On the ground floor, in addition to an expansive living area with a living and dining room with a ceiling all the way to the roof, there is also a guest room and a bathroom with sauna. Directly adjacent to the bathroom is a private terrace, which will house a relaxation area with a jacuzzi. On the first floor, all the ancillary rooms have been located along the northern boundary of the plot. These rooms have fairly standard windows. The master bedroom and an additional room have been located at the extremes of the night block with the possibility of opening up to the south-east and south-west sun.
