This is an example of a small house designed for forest tissue. It is located in the vicinity of Warsaw, near Wyszkow. Its unusual for houses elements are rounded walls and thin roofs protruding through the facade.
The entrance is located on the southwest side, where there is also an entryway. The entire body of the building is mostly glazed, which gives it lightness and allows its inhabitants to have visual contact with the surrounding nature. The perimeter terrace, to which a modern concrete staircase leads, somehow floats above the ground. Everything is supported in the structure by a steel beam. The designed structural slabs, which are pushed against each other, give dynamism to this horizontal, yet small house.

Thanks to the fact that it is a single-story house, the designed roof can form a common part with an additional utility room and the main building, between which a carport is created.
The building is a combination of quite strongly contrasting structural reinforced concrete, huge expanses of glass and emerging rounds covered with wood, further emphasized by LED lighting. The ceilings are precast prestressed concrete, allowing them to be thinner than typical. The windows appear to be one because of the innovative thin-profile steel joinery, which makes it possible to make windows almost 360 cm high.

In the interior one can find all the necessary rooms - a living room with a kitchen and dining area, a small hall, a glazed vestibule with a utility niche, a master bedroom with its own bathroom and dressing room, a small guest room and a toilet with a bathroom function. Their size is comparable to a large apartment, so such a house is a very good alternative for those who want to live outside the city.

The color scheme of the building is very fashionable, as it combines wood on rounded parts, white plaster with architectural concrete texture on the facade and black window woodwork.
