A small house in the forest near a beautiful lake has a total area of 43 sq. m. Previously, there was a small fishing house on this place, but it was dilapidated, and the owner decided to replace the building.
Admiring the view from the window in any weather – that was his main desire, and the designers went to meet: one of the walls of the house, facing the lake, was made completely glass. This wall-window makes it possible to observe the lake all year round, regardless of the vagaries of the weather..
There should be no buildings in the forest that stand out too much from the environment – so the owner decided. Therefore, the design of a small private house was solved in an ecological manner: wood was used in the construction, and where, if not in the forest, to build wooden houses!
The facade of the house is sheathed with slats – they are the best possible “dissolve” in the forest, blending into the background. But it will not be possible to get lost in sight: the strict rhythm of the alternation of laths stands out from the arbitrary alternation of trunks in the forest, indicating the place of residence of a person.
A small modern house seems to be permeated with air and light, the slats protruding above the roof create a pattern that resembles the outline of a forest on a hill. The shade of the slats in the interior creates the effect of being in the forest.
The glass wall expands – this is the entrance to the house. During the absence of the owners, the glass is covered with wooden shutters, they are foldable and easily removed if unnecessary.
The project uses unique larch wood – this tree practically does not rot, a house made of it can stand for centuries.
All wooden parts for a small house in the forest were made using modern technologies – they were cut with a laser beam. Then some of the structures were assembled in workshops, and some were delivered directly to the construction site, where this unusual house was erected in a week..
To avoid dampness, the house is raised above the ground with bolts.
The design of a small private house is simple, and a bit like “yacht”, it is a tribute to the owner’s passion. Everything inside is modest and strict: a sofa and a fireplace in the living room, a bed in “cabin” – only, unlike the yacht, not below, below deck, but above, under the roof itself.
TO “bedroom” you can climb the metal ladder.
There is nothing superfluous in a small modern house, and the whole decor is reduced to decorative pillows in “marine” striped – the combination of blue and white brings refreshing notes to the ascetic interior.
Wooden walls are illuminated by a variety of lamps, the light of which can be directed in any direction of your choice.
At first glance, it seems that a small house in the forest does not even have a kitchen. But this impression is wrong, she is hiding in a wooden cube that occupies part of the living room..
On top of this cube is a bedroom-cabin, and in it itself is a kitchen, or a galley in a nautical way. Its decoration is also minimalist: the walls are covered with cement, the furniture is gray to match it. The steel sheen of the facades prevents this brutal interior from looking gloomy and dull.
The design of a small private house did not provide for any frills, so there is no bath, instead of it there is a shower, the bathroom is small in size and fits perfectly in one “cuba” with kitchen.
Due to this, with a small total area, there is enough space for a spacious living room. All the things the owner needs are hidden in a large storage system that takes up almost an entire wall.
There is a large niche next to the fireplace, where it is convenient to store firewood. The fireplace in this small modern house is not a luxury, but a necessity, and it is with it that the entire room is heated. With a small area and well-thought-out design, such a heat source is enough to heat 43 square meters.
The small house has a lot of advantages: it is warm in winter and cool in summer, sitting on the sofa you can admire the entire surface of the lake, and in order to relax or receive guests, there is everything you need.
To all the pluses, it is worth adding the environmental friendliness of the finish: the wood on the walls is covered with oil, the floor is cement in the color of the lake shore, and it all looks stylish and very appropriate in a house near the water.
