Modern Meadow House is designed away from the city noise, out of urban area. The architectural challenge was to incorporate new house into an existing natural meadow as much as possible. The natural surroundings of nature inspired home solutions. Single-floor house architecture is close to human and nature scale, developing a connection, private relation between them. The L-shaped house plan separates the patio from the street. All living spaces are facing the yard. Bedrooms planned separately from the guest spaces. Living room, kitchen, dinning room with outdoor terrace is designed with high ceilings. Large windows connect the interior and exterior spaces, what creates a cozy and calm atmosphere for residents and their guests.
