This private house was designed for a plot with a complex configuration, where the traditional layout of placing the building along the street front failed to unlock the site’s full potential. The architectural concept is based on creating two inner courtyards that become a seamless extension of the living space, provide absolute privacy, and fill the interior with natural light.
The volume of the house is a clean, minimalist composition organized around these open outdoor spaces. This layout eliminates direct visual lines to neighboring plots, creating a comfortable and secure environment focused entirely on its own internal landscape.
The architecture combines the crisp white geometry of the facades with warm timber frames surrounding the large panoramic glazing. Each functional block of the house connects directly to a courtyard, receiving its own unique natural lighting scenario. The floor plan is divided into three main zones: a private wing with bedrooms, a social area featuring the living room, and a service block with the kitchen and utility rooms. All spaces are unified by a shared architectural logic and open toward the inner gardens.
Integrated sunscreens add extra character and depth to the facades. They not only enhance indoor thermal comfort but also create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that shifts throughout the day, making the architecture feel alive and multi-layered.
The flat usable roof functions as a complete extension of the living space. The rooftop features a private lounge area with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. This solution significantly increases the functional area of the house without expanding its building footprint, which is especially valuable for compact plots with challenging geometry.
