Countryside house project "PARALLEL"
Contemporary concise building solved as a composition of simple rectangular spaces in an eco-friendly minimalist style.
Floor-to-ceiling windows unite the interior space with the landscape. Only natural materials - stone and wood - were used in the façade finish.
Abundance of light and air, precise proportions, strict lines grant the house its pronounced personality.
The house was planned as a composition of overlapping split-level architectural spaces. Each of those has its own functional objective. Function of each space is emphasized by the finish of its façade - travertine, larch wood or floor-to-ceiling windows.
Gorgeous two-level living room/dining room open to below accentuates the size of the house. The rest area placed by the panoramic window with its suspended fireplace and leather armchairs is emphasized by the ceiling drop. This technique lends the living room its intimate and cozy feel.
Each bedroom is decorated in its own color palette.
