The three-dimensional solution of the house by AMMG Architects was based on the elongated shape of the plot extending from the entrance to the opposite side, from where a view of the surrounding forest opens. The volume of the house faces the entrance with a short side, into which the garage doors and the main entrance group are inscribed. Perpendicular, long facades create a complex, almost suprematist composition, the abstract but verified forms of which are formed by two main materials – snow-white plaster and heat-treated wood. The prototype of the villa was a ship heading forward; dynamics and contrast have become the basic principles on which the architecture of the building is based. Contrasting with the light walls are not only wooden elements, but also aluminum details painted black; all these techniques support the theme of a marine vessel, and large wooden terraces – the image of a deck or pier. As the plasticity of the building develops from the entrance to the site, the dynamics increases, and the final plastic chord is the shapes of the terrace, balcony and canopy above them – their clearly defined, thin, tense shapes form a sharp silhouette, and it seems that the house is mobile, tense, and it is worth blowing a tailwind, and it will take off, overcoming the forces of gravity. The weightless, flying silhouette is also highlighted by a thin cutting, organized by the architects around the perimeter of the building – thanks to this, the house seems even less connected to the ground.
The dynamics can be traced in the planning solution. The building is divided into 2 main blocks – the front one, which houses an entrance hall, a guest bathroom, and a block of technical rooms, and the main one, where the main living rooms are located. Both volumes have a bevel of the outer walls at an angle of 30 degrees; the rotation of the walls not only emphasizes plastic tension, but also follows the sun, ensuring direct sunlight even into dressing rooms and bathrooms. The volumes are connected by a spectacular and confidently drawn arc, along which a semicircular staircase with cantilevered steps is built. Complex shapes did not interfere with competent ergonomics – the main furniture is built along straight walls, and in areas with beveled corners, the team has developed original furniture that considers all the nuances and wishes of customers. In general, the interior is designed as a continuation of the exterior. Panoramic glazing was used to achieve the unity of the natural environment and living space. For example, the terrace seems to go into the main rooms – the barbecue area is visually connected to the dining room and living room thanks to the huge windows. The level difference in the kitchen and living room area, as well as the stairs leading to the terraces, are deliberately emphasized by steps made of rough stone, which gives the image a characteristic naturalness. The utility rooms overlook the site towards the entrance, and the main rooms open to the best viewpoints – towards the forest and the main part of the site.
