HOUSE IN THE BIRCHES

Beautifully situated on a picturesque meadow dotted with birches, the single-family house, along with its detached garage, captivates with its charm.

Evening view of the house in Brzozy — a black volume with a gabled roof, a glazed terrace with a dining area and armchairs, and an old apple tree lit with fairy lights in the foreground.

Beautifully situated on a picturesque meadow dotted with birches, the single-family house, along with its detached garage, captivates with its charm. Both buildings feature a gable roof. The facade, made of shou sugi ban planks, not only provides visual beauty but also long-lasting protection from the elements. Maintaining a monochrome black facade gives the development a unique character.

The house charms with its spaciousness and harmony, offering residents comfort within a modest footprint. Large glazing ensures an abundance of natural light while also allowing connection with the garden. Inside, modern minimalism dominates. Warm wood and light colors add coziness and harmony to the interiors. The garden features a spacious terrace, perfect for relaxation and enjoying the view of the birch grove.
