Zigzag house
Poland
Located in southern Poland, the house occupies a partially oak-covered plot at the edge of a forest. The site’s mature vegetation became a defining element of the project. The building was carefully integrated among the existing trees while opening its interiors toward the surrounding landscape.
The form of the house emerged directly from the constraints of the plot, including its boundaries, dimensions, and planning requirements. These conditions shaped a dynamic, zigzagging volume that follows the terrain and settles naturally into the rhythm of its surroundings.
Vertical louvers are a distinctive and integral feature of the façade. They give the building a clear sense of rhythm and order while responding to changing daylight, shadows, and atmospheric conditions throughout the day. Their repetition also reflects the vertical character of the nearby forest.
A continuous material finish wraps both the walls and roof, emphasizing the building’s cohesive, monolithic appearance. Wood and stone introduce warmth and texture as complementary elements.
Large panoramic glazing and open-plan interiors strengthen the relationship between the house and the landscape. Every room has direct access to a terrace, creating an individual connection with the outdoors and reinforcing the sense of living in close proximity to nature.
