Despite numerous limitations of the local development plan, investors and us wanted to create a simple and modern building with a modest image alluding to regional tradition of building. Project’s functional assumption was to make a one-storey house open to the inside.
The building is located near the old town of Cracow, in the calm district of detached houses, on the hill with beautiful view of Wawel and the mountains. The investor’s idea was that the house should be as high as possible because of the beautiful view, and preserve spatial relations between all floors with the largest as possible opening of the space.
