THE HOUSE IN SILESIA- single family house- contemporary barn in Polish Countryside Chruszczobród, built in 2015.

Detached house in Chruszczobród was nominated to 2015 Architecture Award. Our realization was in the leadership of all awarded works, out of fifty submitted designs.

The house is surrounded by fields, meadows and forests. The object consists of three simple ridge roofed buildings shaped like traditional houses. They were functionally divided into garage, art studio and home building. The main conditions for this project we took into consideration were the functional arrangement, plot’s exposure to sunlight and topography. The wide driveway and the garage emphasize public wide-open area. Then we move to the art studio and home building. The last was situated simultaneously to both buildings, in the distance enabling comfortable crossing to the private space. That is why between the buildings we’ve got the walking route leading us to the private space, revealing at the same time interesting architecture perspectives and surrounding landscape view.
