The new project consists of two linear volumes – a living house and a household building. The living house is located in a medow parallel to the seashore. The household building is located along the northern boarder of the site. The space between the ends of both buildings provides a view to the sea. Architecture of both buildings reveals the same character – very simple rectangular volumes built in wooden frame constructions with vertical planking. Both buildings have single sloping roofs incling to the courtyard making a gentle slope – a transition from the high woden walls to the warm and windproof orchard. The roofs are made of aspen shingles. Both buildings are silver grey, similar to the old fishermen's houses in the nearby.

 

The main idea of the project – the living house behind the dune is located on wooden rack platform which is built on concrete piles. The volume of the building is raised above the ground level so that the sea could be seen from all rooms of the house. The presence of the sea can be felt everywhere and this feeling makes the project special. The wooden deck surrounds the house from all sides. The building is lifted as if on a flying carpet which adds a feeling of lightness to the house.
