The greatest quality of this single-family house is its direct contact with nature. The plot is located right next to the wooded hill of Golovec. The design of the house corresponds to the long and narrow shape of the plot, its boundary conditions and the limited natural light that the location has.
The house was designed as a black perforated box with a contrasting bright interior that connects to the forest through framed views, allowing the living quarters to be well lit on both sides. The program of the house is divided into a living area on the ground floor, sleeping rooms on the first floor and a separate garage. The simple volume of the house follows the slightly descending terrain of the plot. The main feature of this house by the woods is the connection between the exterior and interior spaces which are intertwined spatially and visually.
