The building presented exemplifies contemporary organic architecture with a dynamic, sculptural facade. The structure is distinguished by its unusual wave-like form, creating the impression of an object simultaneously growing from the earth and hovering above it. The facade is completely covered with wooden shingles in a warm honey-brown shade, giving the building an organic quality and connecting it with the surrounding mountain landscape.
Compositionally, the building consists of two contrasting volumes: an expressive vertical block with a large glazed area forming the main entrance, and a smoothly curved horizontal wing with small window openings. The main entrance facade features two-story panoramic glazing, allowing enjoyment of mountain views and letting abundant natural light into the interior space. The curvilinear part of the building has a more intimate character with a row of small windows and a terrace with potted plants.
Particularly noteworthy is the use of the same material for both walls and roof, creating a monolithic, unified image. The building is literally "wrapped" in wooden shingles, which play with shades and texture under different angles of sunlight. In the lower part of the structure, angled skylights are integrated, not only providing natural lighting but also visually lightening the construction, creating the effect of hovering above the ground.
This project demonstrates how traditional materials can be used in a contemporary interpretation to create an expressive architectural language. Similar techniques can be adapted for private housing: using a single material for walls and roof, playing with facade geometry, combining closed and open zones, as well as integrating the building into the landscape and orienting toward beautiful viewpoints.
