Design Project of a Private Country House

About the project (provided by the applicant)
The concept of the house is based on the idea of complete integration of architecture with the surrounding landscape. The house becomes a natural extension of nature, both reflecting and dissolving into it. The design is built on the harmonious unity of human and mountain scenery. The façade is clad with mirrored metal panels that change appearance depending on the time of day and weather, reflecting the sky, rocks, and forest. As a result, the building visually “disappears” into the environment. The dominant feature of the interior is a panoramic window framing the mountain view and creating a sense of dialogue with nature. The interior space follows the principle of a double-height volume that unites the kitchen, dining room, and living area into a single open space.
The layout includes two bedrooms — a children’s room and a master bedroom — emphasizing comfort and natural materials. Panoramic glazing opens up the view and serves as a light source, while the mirrored façade reduces the visual impact on the landscape. This is a space for those who appreciate silence, spaciousness, and the beauty of mountain vistas.
