About Stodolove Obytná architektura

Stodolove je dům vzniklý přestavbou hospodářské budovy pocházející z roku 1940. Budova stojí na pozemku obklopeném zelení a starými ovocnými stromy v polské Rumii, ve čtvrti, která je pozůstatkem bývalé vesnice. Jednoduchý černý tvar se sedlovou střechou odkazuje na staré dřevěné stodoly, které se v okolí dosud dochovaly. Fasáda je obložena zuhelnatělými prkny ze skandinávského smrku a střecha zuhelnatělým sibiřským modřínem. Černé posuvné okenice v přízemí připomínají vrata stodoly. Výška budovy je 8500 mm a plocha podlahy činí 126 metrů čtverečních.

Unique Properties
The project consisted of the conversion of an existing farm building dating from 1940. The farm building with a living room was located on a plot surrounded by greenery and old fruit trees in Rumia, in the Szmelta district, which is a remnant of a former village.The planning of the interior layout on the ground floor started rather unusually, with the front window, with a seating area that was to be the central hub of the entire living space.

Design Challenge
The primary problem was the construction law and regulations for the land on which the redevelopment was to take place. The area under conservation supervision with great restrictions and prohibitions. Geological surveys, structural studies of the building that was to be rebuilt, creation and agreement of the building design took several months. The reconstruction itself took more than 3 years, largely blocked by pandemics and rising prices for materials and services, as well as a problem with the availability of materials.
Research
In order to learn about the history of the site and the region, it was necessary to study archival maps retrieved from Polish and foreign servers, obtain archival documents and photos for the area, and own observations and photo documentation of the remains of former farm buildings from the area.
Inspiration
The current form of the building and the finishing of the façade with black tan board is a reference to the old wooden barns, of which there are still several preserved in the area. Respect for the history of the site initiated analysis, collecting photographs and archive maps of the area in order to create a building that would be a link between the tradition and the present day.
Project Duration
Project started March 2019, finished June 2022 in Rumia, Poland
Operation Flow
I was very keen to place the building in the context of the site and its surroundings. I wanted to respect the history and climate of the building, preserve the tradition and create a building that would attract the eye with its simplicity, but would not shout or drown out the surrounding nature with its form. A simple black block with a pitched roof covered with a tan Siberian larch board, Scandinavian spruce on the façade and black sliding shutters on the ground floor, whose form is meant to refer to a barn door, make the appearance coherent and unobtrusive.
