Can the modern 300 meters house aspire to be a residence? Of course it can. Exemple of such residence is our realization- RB23 house.

The window vigilantly observes the life going on in the surrounding forest.

Inspiration
Investor returned with his memories to early years of childhood when he was a fan of wooden blocks. That was our inspiration. We scattered blocks and created a model of a house. Their ergonomic form was close to our thinking of this house. Important was to create some elements referring to surroundings, so a characteristic element of this building is a wide and narrow window from the front side pressed into the body of the first floor. We were inspired by old pulpits at the edge of the forest.
Project Duration
Project finished in 2018. End of house construction 2019-2020. Location - a forest village near Warsaw
Operation Flow
The project met the expectations of investors, although initially they wanted a larger house. Each of the household members has their own room, there are 3 bathrooms and the night and day zones are clearly separated from each other. On the ground floor there is an office and an additional room for guests. The daytime zone flows smoothly into the relaxation zone ended with a terrace with a small heated swimming pool. Reducing the area of ​​the house didn’t negatively affect its function.
