A secluded summer retreat in the west of Lithuania for a private client. Project consists of 4 individual units, all consisting of unique spatial and functional qualities to them. The goal was to design a piece that would be seen as one and blend seamlessly with it’s surroundings, yet contain separate apartments and range of privacy for it’s residents. This is achieved by extruding units to varying lengths, breaking up the continuity and segregating the villa into smaller spaces.

The building also can be perceived as a rock, gently placed on a forest moss and aging with it. As the time goes, concrete surfaces darken and get rough, thus becoming in sync with the nature. Large glass windows and warm light coming through them can be seen as a chipped side of a stone, which reflects and gives contrast to otherwise dark and gloomy image of villa.
