Croatian architectural firm 3LHD has designed the House U. Completed in 2012, this 5,038 square foot contemporary home is located on a slope overlooking Dubrovnik, Croatia. It consists of two units with separate living spaces which are connected by a shared terrace and pool area.
According to the architects: The project task was to design a house for parents and their adult children with their families. Therefore the plot contains two objects. One, a two storey object for parents, and the other, made up of two apartments for the children and their families. In this way, three residential units were formed. A shared outdoor space is inserted between the two houses – a terrace designed for socializing and family gatherings that connects instead of separating them. The pool is in front of the parents’ house, sunken under the terrace level so it does not block the view from the living room. The garage spaces are located right next to the road and hidden from view by the slope of the plot.
