Project idea

The house provides comfort and safety of 4-member family. Each member of the family has its own room. The family meets in a social-area, which is situated on a ground floor. The terrace secures expansion of the social area and makes a very settle interior-exterior transition. The terrace is easily accessible from the living room. The landed property has high proportion of green places, which offers privacy as well as benefits in form of eventual harvesting activity.
The house itself; its shape is affected by 2 factors. Shape of the parcels and direction of the communication (road, sidewalk). The ground floor is oriented north to south ( parallel to parcel), however the 1st floor is oriented in perpendicularity to the communication (road, sidewalk).
