Unique Properties: The villa is formed by four barn inspired volumes, each dedicated to a specific purpose within a single level layout. The parents pavilion includes a master suite and gym, the second wing serves the child and guests with utility rooms and garage, the central pavilion contains living areas with wide glazing, and a detached hunting lodge supports leisure and quiet work. Together they create privacy, comfort and a coherent architectural composition connected to nature.
Dimensions & Packaging: The residence provides a usable area of 422.85 square meters with a building footprint of 571.75 square meters, situated on a plot of 4046 square meters. The layout consists of four barn like volumes: a parents wing with gym, a childrens and guest wing with garage, a central living pavilion and a detached hunting lodge. A north side canopy offers parking for two cars and sheltered access to the home.

Production Technology: The villa was developed using four coordinated barn style volumes linked by functional connectors. Exterior walls are planned as double layer structures finished with ceramic tiles, HPL panels or wood. The house uses a heat pump and a mechanical ventilation system with a high efficiency heat exchanger. Design work focused on clarity of functions and coherent spatial composition.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was to design a low profile villa that fits local surroundings while organizing complex functions across four volumes. Ensuring privacy between the parents and child wings required careful positioning. Integrating a hunting lodge as a fourth pavilion without disrupting cohesion demanded precise spatial balance. Technical decisions focused on efficiency and spatial clarity.
Research: The project is based on applied research into single level residential layouts and multi volume rural typologies. The objective was to identify how four distinct functional units can create comfort and privacy for a family of three. Analysis focused on zoning, view axes and outdoor transitions. The outcome demonstrates that a four pavilion structure improves usability, clarity and long term comfort.
Inspiration: The villa was inspired by the ambition to create a single level residence composed of four barn style volumes on a generous plot near Tarnobrzeg. The concept sought to balance rural calm with modern comfort while keeping the architecture discreet in scale. The arrangement of the pavilions reflects the need for privacy, functional clarity and strong connections to the pine landscape, creating a home that blends naturally with its surroundings and supports a harmonious daily rhythm.
Project Duration: The project was designed in 2024 for a site near Tarnobrzeg on a plot of more than four thousand square meters. Construction began in 2025 and the villa has already reached the closed shell stage with roof and windows installed. The location and scale of the site influenced the decision to create a single level residence composed of four barn inspired pavilions arranged to frame views and ensure privacy.
Operation Flow: Daily life flows through a central living pavilion with kitchen, dining and lounge areas opening to the landscape. The layout separates parents and child zones for privacy, while the connector hall organizes circulation. A lookout point from the kitchen enables observation of the arrival route. The north side canopy allows dry access to the house and the hunting lodge supports leisure and quiet work.
