HOUSE ON A FOREST HILLSIDE

28

The reconstruction of the box was like the development of former utility buildings for housing, which is more typical for European territory full of old farms. It has resulted in Italian minimalism represented in interior. At the same time, the building is similar to an upturned ship with a glass keel-lamp surrounded by clouds. It is like Norwegian wooden churches, whose trussing resembles the form of transverse ribs. Due to its metaphysic character, this image is attrac- tive and developed as well. The entrance is represented as a monumental portal similar to tall Renaissance church gates with a human-scaled door. The dining room penetrates into terrace space. Thus, the borders between the interior and the surrounding forest become vague. All the peculiarities of the building design – everything, which enables its ar- chitecture to be modernistic, light and simple – are based on the detailed development in a balanced manner. A bridge, a fireplace, a column and pillars – objects, which organize and fill the space – are placed freely. The feeling for art is the only thing, on which the building design is based.
