Interior & Lifestyle
The quarter in which the house lies, is one of the first realised projects of the new reacreational settlement that‘s being built at the coast of Curonian Lagoon, in the western part of Lithuania.
The house, cosily surrounded by water channels, reeds, pines and a meadow, opens up to the surrounding nature and visually extends the interior space to the outside, sometimes bringing ones eye to the very Dead Dunes that lie on the horizon.
In order to strengthen the connection with nature, natural materials were chosen for the interior, accompanied by the color range that rather blends in to the surroundings. Wood is used for the floor, furniture and window blinds, raw concrete for the ceiling, and the walls are decorated in clay plaster with rather rough texture.
