The new vacation houses catch the eye instantaneously, with their special appearance that combines a flair оф good design with proportion and choice of materials. Located on the outskirts, the houses mark the transition from the city to the countryside. The houses are built on flat meadows, and turn their living side to adjacent field and forest.

The buildings follow in their spatial training the individual wishes and needs of the clients, and offer home décor with additional atmospheric value: they offer a place for relaxation and an opportunity to be surrounded by landscape, to which the carefully placed openings are matched. In their modest size, they exude privacy and cozy comfort.

Both buildings are proportionate to their location: in their independent physical expressiony, they immediately engage into dialogue with its context, the surrounding nature. The design of these vaction, uses the wishes and ideas of the client as a starting point, and integrates them into a self-understanding architectual design. The result is a coexistence of open and private spaces, of access and seclusion, of walls and openings in a small volume.
