Eco-cottage "Haricot"

Project idea

Inspired by a traditional type of Ukrainian house - mazanka.
I`ve decided to create a haricot-shaped house. Haricot is widespread in Ukraine and whole world agriculture with interesting form which inspired me. There are no sharp corners outside and inside the house. Also, there are a lot of relax area: a terrace which accomplined form of house and big combined kitchen-dining-living room.
Also there are no slab between roof and rooms. This decision is dictated by unusual texture and facture of the reed roof. So you can admire it while sitting on the sofa or laying on bed.
The main idea was in creation small cottage for recreation, but this house can be adapted for full-time living in harmony with nature.
