The plot was located on a slanted road branching from a lower junction. It was surrounded by greenery and laid opposite to a small park. The plot itself sloped gently at the back, which caused level difference of about 1,5 meters.
The building was designed for a 3-generation family of four (grandfather, parents and son) and was requested to have the master bedroom placed at its center, which therefore offered an overall view to the common space and the grandfather’s room on ground floor.
The project was designed for a young family of 4 people. The house was conceived as a country house with modern planning solutions of high comfort. There is a garage for 3 cars, a utility unit, a rough kitchen, and a large outdoor garden with swimming pool and BBQ area.
The ground floor has a public function and there is a large two light living room, kitchen with dining area and guest bedroom. On the first floor there is an intimate area which includes 2 children’s rooms, a master bedroom with a separate bathroom and wardrobe, and access to the terrace.
The house is located on the end of a sloped neighborhood, on a place that borders a native forest; in contrast, the land where the house is located is flat, with no vegetation or gradients.
With soil extracted from the land itself, the house rises 1.30m high to pass the line of sight over the neighboring grove and take advantage of a better view of the landscape.

Interior design and garden projects are projects of great satisfaction since architects can see the results of their designs in less time than what it normally takes to complete a building. However, interior design, when it is custom made, can be compared for complexity to a miniature building because it’s challenging and requires a lot of attention to details, even minute ones. This meticulous research of functional, aesthetic and emotional features makes possible to create a unique space.
The interior of the apartment in the central district of Saratov for a successful young man. A customer from a generation of young and motivated, deeply involved in digital technology. A young, active bachelor who works hard (his business in the IT field), travels a lot. He gave complete freedom of action and trusted our team and we can say “disappeared” and calmly waiting for the completion of the project. By functionality – combined kitchen, living room, isolated bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom was not ordinary due to the features of the layout – it has two entrances along the edges of the bed. A big plus of the apartment is that the windows face three sides, due to this there is a lot of natural light in it. The interior is dominated by dark colors of cold shades, which are consistent with a large number of concrete surfaces. The emphasis on textures plays an important role throughout the interior. Wooden decorative panels, which are visible from different corners of the apartment – warm light and wood give such a cool and dark interior comfort.
Many parcels of land in growing metropolitan areas don’t naturally lend themselves to residential uses. In urban and denser suburban areas there are disused industrial sites, low-density warehouse zones, abandoned retail sites, parcels next to highways, alley lots, and other seemingly unappealing places to live. Exurban areas also have plenty of fringe properties that lack desirable views or have security or environmental issues. Specht’s Stealth House is a viable home design solution. It has no windows, the exterior is a blank canvas concrete block walls and a large steel door. Exterior walls can be left as-is, wrapped, decorated, or camouflaged — per the homeowner’s preference the facade can be a statement, or stealthily fade into the background. The interior, however, is a light-filled oasis with lush landscaped courtyards and floor-to ceiling glass windows. It is bright, private, quiet, and comfortable.
Danish architecture studio CEBRA has completed a seaside villa in Denmark wrapped in an undulating roof, offering expansive views over the Aarhus Bay while also sheltering itself from the weather. Responding to the specific site conditions and the client’s wish for an artistic expression, the residence is designed as an inhabitable sculpture that takes on a different shape depending on your point of view and the capricious coastal weather.
The villa was developed for a site on the edge of a traditional single-family house residential area, located only a stone’s throw from one of Aarhus’ most popular beaches and offering magnificent views over the water and the hilly Mols peninsulas on the opposite side of the bay. The aim of the design is to stage and utilize this location and life by the sea with the vast horizon as everchanging backdrop for strolls along the beach, winter swimming, watersports, and everyday activities.
The idea of the house goes beyond its physical form and is built from the inside out on the principle of spatial connection with the environment from which it grows and which it overlooks. The concept is based on the relationship between the house and the city, the house and the garden, and the garden and the city. The relationship scheme is repeated inside the house. The interior communal part flowing through the entire house continues to the exterior and all the separate private parts have their own extroverted relationships. The visual appearance of the house is defined by its inner nature and the permeability of its physical body‘s (non) separation of the interior from the exterior. Privacy is maintained by facade membranes that allow the maximum view from the inside out, but reduces it from the outside in. To set it in the context of the garden and the city, the house uses material mimicry.
On this small, 400 square meter area we decided to go with a simple and straightforward configuration: the first floor is allocated to the daytime spaces and a garage, the second floor is dedicated to the bedrooms, and the third floor is allotted to a terrace and a small studio. The cozy and cloistered yard surrounds and easily unravels in front of the first floor.
The surroundings are chaotically composed of various architectural styles and we wanted to bring a sharp and modern design into this environment, where it would stand out as a sculptural piece. The intention was to devise a captivating structure through simple shapes. We achieved this by tilting the planes as if these dark metal and wooden outer layers are folding ceaselessly into one another.
