The investor had his own vision of the interior arrangement with the living area on the first floor. Additionally, he wanted to place a house in the middle of the plot, far away from the
river, where a marina was supposed to be. We decided to wrap functions arranged by the client and connect: entry, house and marina. It brought us to the idea of the ribbon, which
was stretched across the entire area. First, from the entry as a road, then twisted and shaping ceilings and walls of the house, wrapping the interior. Next, the ribbon was unrolled as a pier connecting the raised living room with the garden level. Then wriggling - the ribbon ran towards the river. So the road pierced the house. The garage with a glass wall interfered the living space.

It appears as an entrance road, then it wraps to become a house, a terrace, and after that, as a ramp, it connects a house with the garden, finally as a path it leads to the river.

The way tears up from the ground, and wrapping around, it forms the walls and the ceiling of the house.

To emphasize the ribbon, the internal separation walls were made of wood in a color which contrasts with bright concrete.

The interiors are minimalistic - the view is the most important.
