I’ve met Thomas and his wife Agathe in the year 2016. They were visiting the plot near Sulęczyno and asked me to join. Later, in the year 2018, they proposed to me a role of a supporting architect that would help with the formalities in Poland, adapt the concept design to the polish regulations, and seek some suitable contractors.
The house is situated on the steep plot heading towards the lake. The proposed volume is narrow and long with the glazed façade facing the forest ravine that leads to the water. Thomas smoothly fitted the building in the terrain leaving the natural landscape almost intact. An integral part of the project are wooden terraces stretching along the northern-west façade and consequently declining according to the plot slope. The project has a clear functional layout and some fine detailing.
The project has been developed in contact with potential contractors as we hoped to optimize the construction, minimize the costs, and make sure that architectural detailing that was for both of us very important, will be well understood.
Unfortunately, the estimated final cost exceeded the expectations and the project execution has been postponed.
