The house is located on a narrow and extended site and repeats its geometry. The composition consists of two prisms, which will represent the general and individual zones. The main objective for the house was organic influence with the surrounding wood.
The geometry of the house imitates harmony of the nature – the extended volume decreases from the bigger room to smaller on the area.
The architecture of the house is brutal and ascetic. The house creates a special atmosphere of mysteriousness, secret, sacrality. Its presence is given out by only the effective console growing from the hill. The house loses materiality, in process of a volume separation from the earth. The end of the console is literally dissolved in a surrounding landscape.
The volume of the house is formed by interaction of two prisms, where lower is the general zone, and top - individual.
