SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES, BELCHIN BANJA VILLAGE

HOUSE MODULA

​

The project includes a master plan for the development of a residential group of identical two-story houses located in Belchin Banja village. The plot has a specific configuration and elevation difference. Taking into account the conditions of the assignment, we came to the decision to overcome the elevation difference by regrading and leveling the terrain with the construction of retaining structures and support walls.

This provided the advantage of a favorable layout for six identical two-story houses designed for permanent, seasonal, and vacation residence, which blend into the surrounding landscape. Additionally, three of the houses are equipped with independent underground garages, and there is a shared visitor garage with four parking spaces. The remaining three houses have open parking spaces accessible via a covered parking element walkway with grassed areas. In addition to vehicular access to the houses, pedestrian access is provided via an open staircase.

House Modula is a conceptual project based on a "base" and "connecting" module that allows for universal and flexible layouts in various configurations, both horizontally and vertically. It enables avant-garde solutions in modern architecture in terms of form, space, and construction. This approach allows for new transformations in home design, with solutions tailored to the specific habits of the inhabitants and the budget for home time. Unlike other buildings, House Modula represents architectural interest because the client can participate in the "Lego assembly" of the home. In this case, we have based the design on a square layout, achieving a sense of open space, symmetry, and efficient internal communications and circulation paths. The sense of spaciousness is enhanced by prominent window openings – display windows and windows that fully open the house to the surrounding space. Light is the "star" of the house’s interior, penetrating through the glazed roof pyramid.

The house features a flat roof that corresponds with the facades, which are defined by the geometric frames of visible concrete. The vertical division, with cladding made of thermally resistant wood, emphasizes the readability of the modules. The black cladding made of profiled sheet metal provides the contrast that completes the volumetric and spatial solution.
