Van House is a three-story cottage designed to accommodate a family of eight. The ground floor features an open-plan living and dining area with a single bedroom. A special focus was given to the kitchen and dining areas, reflecting the family’s passion for cooking and hosting gatherings. These areas are connected by a central island with both a stove and a bar zone, facilitating both cooking and socializing. The tuff stone wine wall separates the kitchen from the living room and serves as a key design element in the interior space.
The basement level is designed as a gathering and entertainment space for family and friends, featuring a home theatre and a children’s playroom where the raw concrete walls and floor encourage relaxed interaction with the space. There are additional bedrooms for family members and guests.
The first floor comprises private spaces, including a study. The bookcase is the main design element that links the corridor and the study, blurring the visual separation between these areas.
Since the client is from Gyumri, a city known for its extensive use of red and black tuff stone, there was a strong desire to bring the memory of the city into the present, making the use of tuff stone central to the design concept. The red and black tuff stone moves heavily through the space, dividing it into various forms: sometimes small, step-shaped surfaces, sometimes large, flat planes, appearing on walls, forming chess-shaped shelves or straight planes, or on the ceiling, covering the hood element.
The space reflects the memory of the client’s past, their passion for chess, and their imaginative perceptions inspired by the four classical elements. Symbols appear on the stones or transform into flowing lines, shaping wood, stone, or metal surfaces. The wavy lines on the tuff stone break the static heaviness of the material, giving it a sense of dynamism and lightness. They also contrast with geometric, chess-inspired squares, and their combination appears on different surfaces, such as furniture and wall designs.
The dense naturalness and intensity of tuff, concrete, and wood is highlighted, creating a contrast with the lightness of pure white and other soft colors.
