COUNTRYSIDE RESIDENCE PROJECT "DO HOUSE"
Exposed to nature, blending in with the landscape, this house represents the idea of the open space - flowing unconfined environment.
The house if located on a plot of land that has a challenging tapered shape. Semi-transparent walls are facing the forest. In the strict symmetry of the façade architect Sergey Mozheyko has combined perfect geometrical forms. If you look at the layout plan, the house is a segment of a circle - which makes it difficult to comprehend its actual size.
The main façade featuring a huge square window pane is facing the street side.
In the center of the house there is a very large living room with seven-meter high windows. The magnitude of the glass walls creates an impression of complete openness. This becomes even more obvious in the darkness with full lighting on - the building seems to levitate in the night.
