HOUSE IN KOBYLNICA I POLAND

Date: 2007
Area: 167 m²
Status: completed
Design: Adam Rachwał, Katarzyna
Turza-Rachwał

The proposed building has arrived to its present form after analysis of the site constraints, neighbours and the overall context. The house is located on the site close to a busy and noisy road. In order to minimise the noise from the road an idea of "the wall" acting as an acoustic screen has been developed and evolving from a boundary wall to became a key composition element of the house. "The wall" runs from south-western corner of the site and by folding shelters and isolates house private space, then "turns" upward to become a dominant as an external chimney. "The wall" is topped by cuboid with windows positioned to allow views of existing woodlands afar off.
