There is a wooden country house on a site with a coniferous forest. We have designed the house of an oak frame assembled on angle joints with oak pegs. We used natural materials during the construction: oak frame, hemp insulation, glass, and stone.
The exterior decoration divides the house visually into two levels: we have lined the first story with textured plaster, and the second with oak shingle. We covered the roof with tiles. The two-story volume stands on a powerful base decorated with stone. We have made the main elements of Belarusian materials both outside and inside the house.
Our team has divided the house functionally into two parts: on the first story, there are common area rooms (kitchen, spacious living and dining room, music room, utility rooms), and on the second story, there is a quiet area with bedrooms.
The house is surrounded by open and closed terraces on four sides, which allow the use of them in all weather conditions: an entrance terrace, a terrace with an exit from the music room, a terrace with an exit from the living and dining room, and a terrace with an outdoor kitchen.
