This small diner on a Baltic Sea beach near Gdansk with its simple form fits naturally into the beach environment. The building offers two areas: an opaque part with windows and a fully glazed winter garden. The transparent glass house not only offers an unrestricted view of the sea and the beach but also uses solar energy in a passive way to improve indoor comfort in a relatively cool climate in northern Poland. The Solarlux system construction of the winter garden with its slim wood-aluminum profiles enables a filigree effect.

- Unique Properties
- This small gastronomy facility on the Baltic beach near Gdansk with its simple form fits naturally into the beach environment. The building offers two spaces: closed and completely glazed in the form of a winter garden, which lets sunlight into the interior and completely opens the view of the sea and the beach. The strong contrast effect of the two components comes into its own both during the day and at night, when the interior of the winter garden is welcomingly illuminated.
The building stands on stilts so as not to touch the terrain directly. It literally floats above the sand - Dimensions & Packaging
- The building is about 6 m wide and 18 m long.

- Project Duration
- 2022 Beach on the Baltic Sea near Gdansk
- Operation Flow
- In colder periods, the winter garden acts as a large air collector. The heat generated inside by solar radiation is used for heating thanks to the heat pump.
- Inspiration
- The building is located in the north of Poland, in a climate zone where temperatures are moderate for most of the year. The winter garden contributes to passive solar energy harvesting through its glazing and to improving the energy balance of the building. In this way, the building not only opens beautiful views of the scenic landscape, but also has ecological advantages.
