“Sanctuary of peace”

Project idea

The main goal of the project was to create a space dedicated to
individual recreation in the area of Lake Drużno in the
Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.

Project description

The main goal of the project was to create a space dedicated to
individual recreation in the area of Lake Drużno in the
Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.
This space is located within a nature reserve, which is also a habitat
for diverse and endangered bird species. Due to the necessity of
designing in this specific location, the design process focused on
analyzing bird-friendly architecture. The main objective of the project
was to create a facility with minimal potential impact on the safety of
the habitat.
The architectural concept included safeguarding the building's
windows from potential bird collisions by covering them with bamboo
stems. Alternative methods of interior illumination were employed in
the project, based on Japanese shoji panels, to reduce the use of
glass.
Special emphasis was placed on harmoniously integrating the
building's structure into the architectural context of the reserve by
limiting its height and designing a horizontal glamping structure
hidden among the reeds.
