Project Description
Creating an architectural ensemble is challenging and exciting, especially when a new building transitions from dynamic, flexible, living lines born of nature to man-made lines.
This chalet was built as a complement to the main house, a separate pavilion for relaxation where there are no worries and fuss. The building is simple and laconic in its forms, restrained in materials, and clear and functionally comfortable.
Large windows made the chalet transparent, mixing with nature, and the reflection of the environment dissolved the building between the trees and the main house. The walls became the stage of the shadow theater, where the main actor is nature, playing incredible performances every day.
The main idea in creating the interior was to draw the surrounding nature inside, to make it dominant, and to arrange an auditorium inside the chalet with angles lined up through the window openings.
The living room with an open kitchen was raised to the second floor, and a gym with technical rooms is closer to the ground.
The interior is held together by soft combinations of stretched surfaces against the background of a leisurely play of halftones and textures – the solo was left to nature.
The materials play with shades, the surfaces ask to be touched to enjoy the textures. Everything is natural and tactile-emotional. The color balance of the living room balances the unrestrained bright play of nature outside the windows.
The statically drawn lines of the building keep a balance with the violent plasticity of nature, in which the chalet is immersed, allowing you to enjoy the changing, bright mood of nature every day.
