The OUTrial House from Polish KWK PROMES Architects Robert Konieczny started with a simple space and a client who wanted privacy. A green clearing surrounded by forest was the only context for the proposed small house, explained the architects.
The design idea was to “carve out” a piece of the grass-covered site, move it up and treat it as roofing and arrange all the required functions underneath.
“When the site was ready, the client came up with another request, to create some space for a small recording studio and a conservatory,” explained the architects. “The latter was achieved by linking the ground floor with the grassy roof through an “incision” in the green plane and “bending” the incised fragment down, inside the building.”
The changes turned the roof into an atrium and the newly created space has all the advantages of an outer garden while remaining an internal zone within the building.
The result was a new type of house– OUTrial –to convey the idea of an atypical atrium which is part of both the interior and the exterior of the building.
