This house was built on the logic of an iceberg: what’s visible from the outside is only the upper part of the project. A clean rectangular geometry, a façade clad in natural stone, a restrained volume — from the street, the house looks deliberately understated. Its main idea begins underground.
The stone for the façade was custom-made and delivered to the site as ready-to-mount elements. The decision gives the house its presence not through decorative effects, but through the material itself — its texture, its veining, and the way it shifts under daylight throughout the day.
The plan is built around function. Alongside the living areas, the project includes technical rooms, a dressing room, a pantry, and a wine cellar. But the central engineering task became the design of the underground level — a space for the owner’s car collection. The basement became a private showroom in its own right, where the cars aren’t «stored,» but displayed.
A project like this is an example of architecture that holds nothing extra: not on the façades, not in the plan, not in the details. Complex engineering tasks are solved inside a strict silhouette, without visual noise. The house feels calm — and at the same time carries everything required for the level of life it belongs to.
