Country House Harmoniously Integrates with Serene Lakeside Setting in Poland
Nestled in a picturesque village in northern Poland, Country House harmoniously integrates with its serene lakeside setting while respecting the scale of the surrounding architecture. Designed by IFAgroup, this house features innovative green elements, with a flat roof that doubles as a green terrace, enhancing insulation and biodiversity. The project exemplifies a design that prioritizes context, sustainability, and a profound respect for its natural surroundings.
Thoughtful Elevation Structure Of The Building
The building’s elevation is thoughtfully structured, with a portion rising just 1.4 meters above ground due to underlying peat layers. This strategic design allows the house to be partially submerged while providing necessary warmth through the retaining wall’s buried sections. The use of locally sourced demolition boards from an old barn for the exterior reinforces a connection to the local heritage.
Distinct Functional Zones Of The Residence
Functionally, the design divides the home into distinct zones, featuring both an eastern terrace that offers captivating lake views and a quieter western terrace overlooking the forest. This layout encourages a strong connection to nature, fostering outdoor living. The large window compositions in the sleeping areas echo traditional local styles, while expansive glass panes in communal spaces ensure continuous interaction with the surrounding landscape.
Building Constructed Using Reinforced Concrete
Sustainability is integral to our vision, with the building constructed using reinforced concrete and a flat roof that doubles as a green terrace, enhancing insulation and biodiversity. The interior showcases curated furniture and art, accented with vibrant red beams and railings, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Design Prioritizing Context, Sustainability And Natural Surroundings
Overall, this project exemplifies a design that prioritizes context, sustainability, and a profound respect for its natural surroundings, ensuring a lasting positive impact on both residents and the community.
