Mikolow
Project: 1998-2001
Built: 2000-2002

Located at the border of Katowice and Mikołów, the house on a plot measuring several thousand square meters was from the beginning supposed to have the character of a spreading bear's lair, with rooms and a tower with an uninterrupted view of the open and forested tracts visited daily by herds of forest animals: deer, wild boars, foxes, hares and hedgehogs. The layout of the house embarces with its wings an attractive landscape with a grove, separates the external garden living room, constituting a completely safe enclave with an internal fireplace, similarily to, the often visited by the owners, mountain chalets in the Tatras, the Alps and the Himalayas. The single space interior with footbridges / bridges and private rooms accessible from them allows for easy, uninterrupted eye and voice contact of three residents who, being in different areas of the house, see each other and can talk freely.
