This single-family house nestled in the peaceful suburbs of Vilnius. This home effortlessly combines modern architecture with the beauty of nature, creating a tranquil retreat for suburban living.
Situated on a hillside within an established residential community, the house boasts stunning views of the forest panorama above neighborhood houses, providing residents with a serene and picturesque environment to call home. The elevated position of the plot adds a touch of grandeur as it overlooks neighboring properties nestled in the valley below. Easy access via an asphalted road and complete engineering communications make this plot both convenient and highly desirable.
The house itself combines functionality and aesthetics. The well-thought-out floor plan places the central living area at its heart. To the east, a private parents' recreation zone offers relaxation and seclusion. On the north side, you'll find the entrance, a spacious garage, and utility rooms for everyday convenience. Meanwhile, the western wing is designed with children in mind, creating a comfortable and playful environment.
A standout design element is the clever use of projected pointed corners. These are strategically positioned to frame the beautiful forest panorama while concealing any unwanted views, enhancing the visual connection to nature from the living spaces. The house also effectively divides the plot into two terraces. The upper terrace seamlessly accommodates the dwelling, ensuring a close connection to public spaces with a peaceful street. The lower terrace is a private haven, featuring a sauna for relaxation and a children's playground for family enjoyment. Additionally, a semi-covered terrace with a dedicated grill area is thoughtfully located on the southern side of the main living space, providing an ideal spot for outdoor entertaining and gatherings.
This single-family house in Vilnius suburbs is a prime example of modern design seamlessly integrated with its natural surroundings. It offers a harmonious and functional living experience, inviting residents to embrace the stunning landscape that surrounds them.
