We were invited, along with several international studios, to participate in a closed competition for the design of a single-family house in Vilnius, organized by a private investor.
His wish was to ensure contact with greenery while maintaining a sense of security. The starting point for our winning concept was the classic form of a house with an atrium, which we reinterpreted.
As a result of raising part of the house (the night zone) one level higher, the atrium together with the day zone became an extension of the garden surrounding the house.
In 2016, while the design work was still ongoing, local regulations changed – the new ones allowed construction on only 50% of the plot, and the access road was routed from the garden side. The client began looking for a new location, but we managed to convince him to stay with the current site and reduce the house area by 40%.
As a result, a building with a triangular plan was created. Despite the reduction in scale, the core idea of the project was preserved.
