TEXT: This prefabricated wooden house, being a curated sanctuary, where usage of natural materials was leading design motif, blends larch wood, bespoke textiles and decorative ceramic tiles. Rusty metal details by AKSL architects add rugged charm, harmonizing with nature in both floors – living spaces situated in ground floor and bedrooms in upper floor. Majority of the house's interior is covered in wood, what makes this place even more homey. Outdoor movable wooden shades control sunlight and views, while being overgrown with evergreen climber, creating this dwelling more than a house; it's a haven for a green-hearted family.
