The Fence House is a family residence located in Borowiec, Poland. It occupies 290 square meters of space and it was designed and built here by mode:lina architekci, a team of professionals that always focus on the client's needs and for whom each project starts with a research phase and ends with a positive feedback from the clients.
The house is composed of two blocks which together form a large structure
The back facade has large windows and openings, offering views of the garden
The roofs of the two blocks are sloped and the facades are simple The building is organized into two blocks. They both have sloping roofs and similar sizes and shapes.

The clients wanted to create this distinction between the spaces in order to offer each the needed privacy and independence.
Te front facade has the least windows as well as a garage that matches the architecture
The garage is designed to look like a cube extension for the house
The ground floor has sliding glass doors that lead out on a terrace The design of the house is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional style, hence the pitched roofs. The garage which is an extension of the house was designed in a similar style, featuring an asymmetrical cube form.
