Located in Vanagup?s gatv?, Palanga, Lithuania, this is a residential project completed by UAB Architektu biuras in 2013. All living spaces are lifted above the street level and focused on the forest, while the utilitarian spaces are positioned on the lower level – consequently, establishing the reaction to the intricate landscape besides sparing as much of the site for outdoor activities and for psychological perception of private spaciousness.family house
Through creative discussions it was decided to avoid the impression of a bulky hovering object that a single level living area dictates, therefore, the scheme was divided into three separate volumes corresponding with three functional zones: Children rooms with a dedicated bathroom and washroom are situated firmly on the ground, while the parents’ zone – a master bedroom with ensuite facilities – is lifted commandingly on a sleek tower leg, which serves as a storage space. The central zone houses a stairway, the main living areas on the first floor and a garage, an entrance hall and technical spaces on the ground floor.
