White Kalitva project

It is not often I am able to work with projects of houses are on such interesting sites like this. Parcel was in its form and in the presence of access to the forest on one side. Therefore, one of the starting conditions for future tenants of the house, as was the availability of direct access to the public spaces of the house of the forest panorama. A simple understanding of the relationship with the environment at home was the main idea and the task that it was necessary to bring in materials and structures. Here's a few fotos from the site:
The project was developed by three fundamentally different models of homes, and eventually moving from a two-story version of a one-story, adopted the basic design decisions, the meaning of which I have tried to recreate the simple circuits here:
 
The idea was to create a movement route of the house, which would provide access to the panorama of the forest and created a variety of types of windows, all the way through his investigation. This condition has been achieved by repeating the curve section of the border line. By placing the main room with a permanent or temporary stay of people along the longer arc of the route, and technical rooms, bathrooms and garage - with a shorter, clear orientation of the house was secured. The open part facing the forest, and the closed part to the street and the nearby area. After that, to compensate for the missing sun exposure in the rooms facing north, it was increased ceiling height for the location of additional windows on the south side. Moving from the general to the particular, from idea to realization conceived, it was developed following planning decision:
In a rather complicated from a geometric point of view, the layout was inscribed monolithic reinforced concrete frame.
In the end, it turned out the next perspectives:
Also, I tried to convey the atmosphere of the interior space:
