House in Montenegro

Our secluded place for design is located in Montenegro, not far from a Black Lake. Centuries-old pines and firs shelter the Architect's House within their forest. The main task was to wisely adapt the building to the very steep slope, preserving the existing landscape as much as possible. When approaching the site, the image of a small one-storey house is formed, which hides two underground floors. Minimal supports and a floating single-pitch roof located on a sturdy stylobate made of sleeping blocks. Two volumes, connected by a glass gallery, twine the courtyard and create the effect of a simple gable-roofed house.
