Piren

Residential House for Maciej Basałygo

Piren is a residential architecture project. The spaces intertwine and define the usable zones of the house. Natural materials were used in the implementation. Wood, stone and glass can be found on different levels. Details masking the technical infrastructure of the building were individually designed. Passages and glass walls allow optical contact with the surroundings.

Unique Properties

The resulting space is non-obvious, it harmonizes with the surroundings through the interpenetration of functional zones, which facilitates mutual relations between the residents. Built of natural materials, enriched with individually designed furniture elements, the interior architecture also allows you to find a zone full of peace and intimacy. The entire functioning of the facility is supervised by intentionally hidden technology that controls the quality of air, light, temperature and sound.

Production Technology

The choice of materials and technologies resulted from the aesthetic and functional needs of both investors and designers. The technical infrastructure of the building was almost completely hidden. The list of materials includes specially tinted ash wood, granite floor slabs in the color of volcanic tuff, transparent protective glass at the stairs and mezzanine. The whole was to be connected by the whiteness of the walls, which served to reflect light and display artistic works.

Design Challenge

Design is a process in which abstract challenges are transformed into forms, signs, symbols embedded in space. This project was primarily an attempt to achieve an optical balance based on the use of a selected and properly arranged group of materials. The interiors were to be characterized by non-obviousness and the desire to constantly explore them.

Project Duration

The residence is located in Poznan, Poland. The design work lasted 12 months

Operation Flow

Designing affects the shaping of emotions, creates spatial images of the environment for spending time. The project is not only a response to existential needs, but a plan that was supposed to stand the test of time and intrigue the residents even after returning from attractive holidays, exceptional concerts or places that could make an original impression. By freely opening and closing the glass openings, you can control the symbiosis of architecture and the outside.

Research

Design activities balanced around the boundaries set by superior ideas such as safety, comfort, naturalness, perfection. They were accompanied by the limits of emotions expressed by deriving happiness from passion in the form of contemplation of music, painting, graphics and love of cooking. Assigning spatial and material features to the above elements was a constant setting of boundaries and balancing between them.

Inspiration

The inspiration was conversations with the owners about their passions, experience and plans. They translated into spatial solutions based on analyzes of the presence of light in the interiors, non-accidental combinations of materials, proportions or control of sound propagation. The apparent boundaries set in this way were to emphasize the functions and specific pace of life of the household members. Finally, the main ideas became nature, freedom, comfort, penetration, freshness.
