House in Hvar, Hvar, Croatia, 2017-2020
The house with a spacious covered terrace and swimming pool is designed as a summer house. Since it is located in an area of urban chaos in Hvar, the imperative was to ensure a view on the sea, islands, and fortress, and avoid inconspicuous neighborhoods. The house, terrace, and swimming pool are raised on a podium surrounded by gardens with tall height greenery.
The house consists of two simple concrete volumes, a contrast to the house’s complexity achieved by moving the upper floor towards the north ensuring more sunlight on the terrace.The footprint and size of the house are determined by strict local regulations.
