Article source: Enforma Architecture In the landscape such as the Bay of Boka Kotorska, great challenge can be construction of building beyond a traditional “recipe”. It’s like when you grow up in a diverse ethnic surrounding where yours ” differences ” are not accepted and understood very well. In that situation, we should to celebrate “the differences” between people and like that today, with all social, economic and technological development, we must thinking about structure which will reflect the present, but without endangering “spirit” of the existing natural and built environment – “genius loci”.

This position of house “provide” impressive views and this fact was key impact on creating the form of house.  Image courtesy Enforma Architecture Studious approach to the task and careful approach to all aspect and needs of enviroment and contemporary society, gave us wanted goal which is reflecting into contemporary and ”purified” expression of the house. So, the architecture of this house is product of deep analize of location and demands of investiotor “Pluto Capital” doo, to create original design with accent on mentioned “views”.  Image courtesy Enforma Architecture All this aspects are incorporated in formal expression of “seashell”, which is “opening” to the “views”, creating unique space, both in interior and exterior. Unique design approach is implemented in two aspects. First, radial stone walls are creating three primary parts, which are fuctionaly and structuraly parts of house and ,second, into a big glass surfaces of house which “bring” enviroment in interior, creating subtle mix of inner and outer space.  Image courtesy Enforma Architecture Positioning the house of 424.5 square metars onto very inaccessible terrain, was great challange for us, but also this fact gave us opportunity to create several interesting and quality ambients in landscape design of parcel. House has basement, ground floor and first floor. The basement is provided for garage with two parking places, goods shed, laundry room and also gym and winery. Very interesting detail through all floors is the stairs that follows radial walls and “bring” dynamics in whole interior.

At ground floor there are also a toilet and Spa with sauna, wardrobe and shower also connected with pool. At back side of ground floor is situated the guest apartment with independent entrance.

All three bedrooms are connected with large terrace which is covered with automatic tarpaulin in one part.
