House in Pavilnys

About

A private residential house in the Pavilnys Regional Park was designed in an exceptional location, adjacent to train tracks, surrounded by old apple trees. The architecture is balanced for family life – practical and stunning in simplicity. The family’s habits and values determined the essential architectural principles – wide windows opening onto the garden, a terrace along the entire length of the house.

The building is divided into two functional parts. On one side is an open common space that includes the kitchen, dining, and living areas – spanning the entire length of the house. There are no separate rooms for reading, eating, or working, only a dynamic and constantly changing space that encompasses everything that makes a home happy: mess, chaos, and lots of laughter.

A glass wall connects the common space to the garden, where the apple orchard occasionally attracts deer, and the natural environment of the regional park creates a dynamic backdrop to life inside the house. The contrast between the interior and exterior is blurred, and the changing seasons can be felt both inside and outside.

This is a home in unity with nature. This house is proof that great architecture does not have to be excessive, and that luxury can be created by open spaces, natural materials, daylight, and a constantly visible natural environment.
