Harmony of opposites

For this small two-storey house, contrasts are characteristic. On the one hand, fragile, almost transparent, on the other - extremely concise and even severe, it combines the features of traditional Lithuanian architecture and modern construction technologies

In the compositional solution of the house and the nature of his finishing, the authors of the project tried to embody the traditions of the People's Architecture of Lithuania.

The living room is a two-week space, filled with solar rays due to almost solid glazing of the end and longitudinal walls.

Support stairs forms a massive pine trunk. Carriage metal T-shaped profiles are mounted in it, wooden steps are attached to them.

The kitchen-dining area is very compact and convenient. Furniture made of wood massif, simple and kind.

Next to the entrance door is a spiral staircase leading to the attic.

The game of sunlight, flowing into the windows, and shadows discarded by ceiling beams and pegs on the wind branches of trees, transforms the interior of the living room.

Decorative ceiling beams are painted in a dark brown color, standing out on a white background of plasterboard binder. They create a slender rhythmic pattern in the interior of the bedroom.

The mansard gallery has an original fence made using thick hemp ropes. The old spreader creates a special, "rustic" mood.

A ceramic tile of warm beige tones was used in the bathroom decoration.

The village where this interesting house is located near the most beautiful forest lake. Its surroundings have long been popular with nature lovers and country rest. Once there was a tourist base, consisting of several residential houses and a boat station. Then its territory was privatized and in the place of the long-haired buildings you grew up modern well-maintained buildings.

"Use what is at hand"

The owners of the house this place was attracted by their pristine beauty and solitude. Jews for themselves they chose closer to the outskirts of the village, just a few dozen meters from the lake. On this territory turned out to be an old solid boat shed, built of bricks on a robust reinforced concrete foundation. Assessing his condition, spouses - architects engaged in the design and construction of residential buildings - decided to make the structure of the basis of the future building. Indeed, the shed dimensions turned out to be quite impressive so that it was convenient to organize residential space. In addition, the use of old foundation made it possible to significantly reduce the timing of the work and reduce the financial costs. It was also decided to maintain some of the strong brick walls and supplement them with a wooden frame.

Required add-ons

In an effort to preserve the harmony of the surrounding nature of the landscape, the construction decided not to do too high. The rectangular volume of the building was completed with a high double roof, equipping a cozy attic under it. In order for the house to become a reliable refuge at any time of the year, the walls and roof thoroughly insulated. The outer insulation of brick walls was performed from ISOVER mineral wool with a thickness of 150mm (Finland). The layer of minvats the same thickness provided frame walls, frontones and roof. The sides of the house, the thermal insulation material was protected by film vapor barrier, and with an external - wind insulation layer from pergamine. In the "cake" of the roof to wind insulation, a layer of waterproofing membrane was added, the Ruukki metal tile (Finland) with a matte surface was used as roofing material. Outwardly, it resembles a natural cement-sand tile.

So that the old and new part of the building looked like a single whole, the walls were crushed outside the firboard. Then they were covered with a protective veil that attached a grayish shade with the walls, which the tree acquires with time. In order for this composition better to do in the wood, the surface of the boards did not make perfectly smooth, but left slightly rough.

Another finishing material completing the whole building of the construction was a natural stone. It was used both for cladding the base of the house and for the finishing of the fireplace pipe, which is carried out for the outer contour of the building and is an element of the supporting structure.

Compact and convenient

The internal layout of the house provides everything necessary for a full-fledged rest. The main premises are located on the first floor. Its large part of it is occupied by a living room and a kitchen-dining room forming a single bright space, which is almost completely open to the outside world from two sides due to panoramic glazing. The second largest room is reserved under the bedroom - it is in the brick part of the building. Next to it is equipped with a bathroom with a shower. Mansard, in turn, can be called a guest area. It consists of a residential room and a gallery that can serve as a seating area or perform a bedroom function, if you need to place numerous guests for the night.

Since the size of the house is small and used mainly in the warm season, with the heating of the premises, the fireplace is located in the living room, equipped with a cassette-type cast-iron furnace. Listening to the need to help him serve portable electrical radiators installed in residential rooms. The shovel is also equipped with electric heap floors.

In natural key

The use of natural materials - wood and stone - in the outer decoration of the house finds its continuation and in the interior. The external design is naturally as if flowing inside - only shades and textures are changed, which becomes less brutal.

Landbilling the walls and ceiling The main role is assigned a spruce board used and for the outer sheaving of the walls of the house. However, in the interior, its surface is processed perfectly smoothly. The walls are covered with transparent matte varnish, preserving the natural color of wood. Due to this, the inner space is filled with golden glow. Complex zone Wooden finish complements light gray porcelain stonewares that the floor is lined with. This is a very practical solution, since such a coating is resistant to abrasion and very comfortable in care.

The wherystone bedroom place of the porcelain stove occupies a spruce board, tinted in a slightly darker shade compared to the trimmed wood walls. Hermed finish contrasts the plasterboard, which will be laid ceiling and decorated part of the walls. Such a neighborhood allows you to reject the merits of materials, reveal their color and texture, as well as structure the space.

Almost all furniture used in the interior is wooden. This emphasizes the country's countryside and creates a cozy atmosphere, which has a relaxed holiday. The exception is, perhaps, only the living room, where two chairs and a sofa are installed in a classic style, skin upholstered. Their foundation contrasts with the transparency of the surrounding open space. The sofa group visually balances the fireplace. Its facade is a welded metal structure, inside which the firebox capsule is enclosed. The metal facade looks expressive on the background of a chimney lined with natural stone. The latter sets a clear vertical in the interior and acts as a peculiar axis, on which the entire architectural design is kept.
