Article source: KWK Promes arch. Robert Konieczny The building is located on the outskirts of Katowice, near a forest, on land deteriorated by 4th category mining damage, where tectonic faults are a possibility.
Architects: KWK Promes arch. Robert Konieczny Its structural design comprises rectangular solids contrasting with the ribbon-like structure which winds around them after it emerges from the ground. It is the leitmotif of the building, combining a variety of functions: starting with the swimming pool to the living room with a fireplace and then to the bedroom upstairs. A noteworthy feature of the ramp is elimination of stoops. Such a solution was achieved by bending the surface of the course, which made it possible to keep its outer edges straight, without bends typical for such structures. Category: Sustainable Design |
