Designed by KWK Promes, Our client had a beautiful, huge plot on the hill near the river. He had also some strange wishes: to copy his existing, a bit boring interiors from his previous flat and put living space on the 1st floor.

The main inspiration turned out to be the road, which had to be there any way to reach the middle of the plot, where the house was planned to stand. We thought, what would happen if we lifted “the way” and “wrapped it around” these ugly interiors.

Then we brought it back to the garden level, leading it through the steep hill to reach the river, at the same time not cutting out any tree. The road shaped the entire building – its floors, walls, and ceilings, becoming the main motif of the project. Apparently, the absurd customer wishes resulted with an incredible view from the living room and thanks to this idea we managed to connect the living space with the garden and gain much more.
