HOUSE IN KRZYKI, WROCŁAW

This unconventional house is located in a quiet part of a Wrocław neighborhood.

Dramatic corner of the house in Krzyki — a projecting white upper-floor volume with a timber soffit, a glazed ground floor, and a dark brick side wall amid greenery.

This unconventional house is located in a quiet part of a Wrocław neighborhood. The building’s L-shaped form separates the private space of the large garden from the street. The living room, the upstairs rooms, and the indoor pool all face the garden.

Uninterrupted contact with the surrounding greenery, onto which the rooms open, is meant to be a shared experience for everyone. The ground-floor wing houses the pool with a spa zone.

Garden facade of the house with a cantilevered glazed upper floor, a balcony with a glass balustrade, children's toys on the terrace, and a rocking chair.

Front of the house in Krzyki behind the white perforated gate — the contrast between the white upper-floor volume, dark clinker brick, and a tree growing by the pavement. Projecting upper-floor corner seen from the entrance side — a timber eave soffit, dark clinker brick, frosted glass panels, and a dog figurine by the door. House entrance sheltered by the projecting white upper-floor volume — frosted greenish glass panels, a wooden door, and brick side walls with the house number plate. Symmetrical view of the entrance beneath the projecting upper floor — bands of frosted glass, a wooden front door, and a paved driveway between lawns. Garden view of the house in Krzyki — a glazed ground floor open to the terrace, the upper floor with a timber eave ceiling, and a hanging swing by the terrace entrance.
