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. Much attention has been devoted to supplementing the design with subtle landscaping, open fireplace, and wooden terraces, where you can relax listening to the sound of nature, enjoy a wonderful meadow view. Nature is a very valuable feature in architecture, especially nowadays when urbanisation is increasing around the globe.

Development of a 110 square meters loft in a raw space in Montreuil.
The apartment is articulated on two floors revolving around a patio: day part on the ground floor and night upstairs.
This project aims to offer the apartment a functional core, point of attraction echoing the patio for this mono oriented and focused space
This core fulfills the roles of staircase, library and living room: functions that intertwine and dissolve. The heavy steel staircase floats on a base which becomes a bench seat and extends to the ground. The library slides around the stairs, becomes a bench and extends upstairs This green screw will distribute light, spaces and materials throughout the apartment.
The use of reflective or polished materials as well as the presence of a mirror multiplies the arrival of light.
The transition between the interior and exterior spaces is blurring: the patio invades the entire space on the ground floor.
The story of this compact family house began in 2015 year with architectural study. Young family with two kids decide to move to location which is on the edge of Slovak capital – Bratislava, named Vrakuňa.
As it is typical for this locatiion, site is absolutelly flat and surrounding envitoment still carrying many historical connotations to original rural context. BLNT house was finished in 2018 year and our studio designed also interior of the house which was fully finished in 2019 year.
Since we looked for the first time on the clean plot, we start to organize general disposition of the site with main goal to create simple shaped compact house, which will cut a reasonable portion of the garden with his volume, as a benefit for clients. Other wellcomed condition of the design was to create volume wich will not stick up from surrounding volemes of older structures.
