The volume of the villa is built on strict geometry. The key architectural accent is the courtyard that provides both privacy and exposure to light. The task was to create a private space surrounded by greenery and exposed to light, taking into account that the area is small, building on neighbouring plots from three sides and only one side looks at the forest.
The villa is a two-story building with open terraces and a flat roof. The house is placed closer to the plot border so that most of the territory in front of the forest could be turned into a park. The maintenance block is located along the plot border, and the residential building adjoins it through the courtyard in between. The open terraces of the ground and the first floors face the forest. The main one offers plenty of room for family-and-guests gatherings, while the one by the kitchen has a barbeque set and a stove. The ground floor of the residential building embraces a living room, a dining room, the kitchen with a pantry, a guest bedroom and an entrance hall with a walk-in closet. Family members’ bedrooms are upstairs. Each room has access to the wooden terraces. Due to the ring-shaped form of the house, the living room and the dining room are exposed to light coming from two opposite sides (the courtyard and the park) but, at the same time, the space is hidden from the neighbours’ eyes.
Fasades are decorated with contrast materials: clinker bar bricks are used for the ground floor, while Red Canadian Сedar boards are applied on the first floor. This solution allowed to visually reduсe the scale of the villa and harmoniously correlate it with the small size of the plot. The courtyard wall is rusticated, with alternating protruding and recessed bricks. The game of shadows of recessed niches of the terraces and balconies also contribute to the complex appearance of the house.
