Urban Forester House

Poznan, Poland

YEAR

2012

Newly
built terraced house still in raw state fell into the hands of Poznań based
architects from
mode:lina just in time because it turned out that:
“These structural concrete elements are just beautiful!”
and
the lack of any walls immediately gave future users an overview on ground floor
space.
“We love open space but is has to be cosy. We also like raw materials
but they need to get some warm
natural accents because of our small child. Do you think there's still
room for some furniture we
inherited from our parents?”
Architect's
recipe for a cosy open space was to create different zones for different
functions by
changing
material both on the floor as well as on the ceiling.

In
order to bring more nature into this urban house, floor in the living room was
covered with cow hide
and
bathroom sliding door are raw MDF with old plank print. The owner was really
enthusiastic about
the
idea of making a tree branch chandelier:
“It can not be just any branch! I will bring one from the place where I
used to spend my childhood
holidays.”

Even
purely functional aspects are matching the overall atmosphere of the house:
“(He) We have a growing collection of books. The collection of clothes
grow too (fast!)
(She) Yes, I want my wardrobe in my bedroom and it need to be very
special.”
The
wardrobe gets closer to nature too as it looks like a mysterious forrest with
hidden doorway (the mirror).
“This house feels like a forester
close to the city centre.”
