Landscape View is a conceptual single-family home in the Mazury region, whose main idea is to create a panoramic viewing house—a space that allows its inhabitants to fully enjoy direct contact with the surrounding nature. The project’s name is not accidental: the house serves as a succinct frame for the landscape horizon, highlighting the unique natural values of the site and enabling their daily experience.
A simple, horizontal volume, made from a material rooted typologically in local architecture, and an iconic frame structure that accentuates the view are the key conceptual aspects of this project. The entire structure has been shaped to respect and enable the enjoyment of the site’s natural and visual qualities, making the house not only a shelter but also a tool for landscape contemplation.

Context and Surroundings
The unbuilt, gently undulating landscape of Mazury—meadows, a strip of lightly wooded shoreline, and the lake’s edge—forms the backdrop for the project. The house is a base for enjoying the extraordinary value of this place, offering its residents daily contact with nature and its changing moods.

Architecture
• Openness to the landscape: The house is designed so that nature can freely flow through its architectural fabric.
• Modernity and tradition: The modern form is finished with traditional materials—brick facades reference the local architecture of Mazury.
• Form and function: An elongated brick rectangle, placed on a hill by the lake, creates a horizontal line that frames the landscape through centrally placed, double-sided glazing.
• Landscape View/frame: The house is a brick frame through which the landscape freely passes—architecture becomes a tool for framing views.

Function and Interior
The house is divided into two main sections: family part and guest part, connected by a shared hall and a covered terrace. At the end of the guest wing is a garage, accessible only from the outside.

Functional Program:
• Family part:
• Living room with kitchen and dining area (open space)
• Master bedroom with wardrobe and bathroom
• Two bedrooms with private bathrooms
• Utility rooms (laundry, drying room, boiler room, storage)
• Guest WC/toilet
• Guest part:
• Living room with kitchen and dining area (open space)
• Two bedrooms
• Two bathrooms (one connected to a bedroom)
• Hall – shared entrance and connection between zones
• Garage – independent zone accessible from the outside

Composition and Materials
• Unified composition: Both the building’s volume and the interiors form a coherent whole, described by the same plastic language.
• Transparency: Double-sided glazing in the central part of the house ensures the landscape permeates the architecture.
• Materials: Brick used on external facades extends into the interior (walls, floors), enhancing the sense of continuity and blurring the boundary between inside and outside. The ceiling of the “frame” is a suspended wooden ceiling, color-coordinated with the overall composition.
• Details: Interiors are complemented by black details (aluminum joinery, handles, entrance doors, built-in cabinets), as well as durable and modern materials—concrete, ceramic, porcelain, wood or wood-like finishes.
• Furnishings: Much of the technical and built-in furniture is integrated with the architecture, while free-standing furniture complements the interior composition.

Summary
Landscape View is a house that becomes a frame for the Mazurian landscape, allowing its inhabitants to fully enjoy the charms of nature every day—both inside and outside the house. The simple form, noble materials, and thoughtful composition ensure that the architecture does not compete with the landscape, but rather highlights and enhances it.
