Masurian Twins
Poland
In the middle of the forest, Masurian twins were formed on the glade.
Modern habitat was designed with a timber farm building, a garage and residential buildings connected with a joining passage but with two independent entrances. Each family received an open living room with kitchen and dining room overlooking the forest.
The night part, intimate zones are located on the opposite sides of the buildings. At the intersection of the buildings, windows were inserted and they overlook the forest. From the roadside the traditional, modest elevation of the barn was preserved. In the places of the existing barn gate, we designed a joining passage which connects both solids, but two separate entrances guard the privacy.
Beyond the symbolic, immaterial and emotional dimension, this Masurian landscape has the potential to become an inspiration in creating a new quality of contemporary space and architecture. The condition is correct recognition of the nature of the landscape, interpretation of its content and indication of directions and boundaries of transformations
At the beginning, before we had started the process of creation, we visited the plot and talked to the investors - two families - friends. They found the ideal place - the clearing in the middle of the beautiful forest. They also purchased the old barn, which boards we later used for new elevation. The local building development indicated the framework of future building conception.
We decided to propose the plan that from the beginning to the end was in line with our vision of modern architecture based on local building tradition.
The main idea of the project was to use the natural clearing in the middle of the forest without cutting down the trees. The driveways were made of an eckrat on which grass grows.
Materials from a demolished old barn were used again - parts removed from one building complemented another building, referring to the local, traditional character of the place. Nothing was wasted.
