"By raising part of the house one level up, the patio space is doubled, ushering daylight deep into the spaces within. The living area, with its communal spaces, would be on the ground level and the bedrooms above."
"Instead of bailing - and following the client's instinct to start looking for a new site - KWK Promes convinced the owner to stay and reduce the home's surface area by 40 percent. As a result, a triangular floor plan emerged."
"The firm effectively sliced the home in half - its diagram shows how the final form emerged - and made it better. The tighter geometries created dynamic, idiosyncratic conditions in a house that now measures 3,230 square feet."
KWK Promes was invited to design a house in Vilnius, Lithuania, on a spacious suburban plot. The firm proposed raising part of the house to double the patio space and enhance daylight. However, the site was halved due to new regulations, prompting the firm to reduce the home's surface area by 40%. This led to a triangular floor plan that improved the design, resulting in a dynamic house measuring 3,230 square feet, with two levels wrapping around an interior space.
