The design creates a floating unit on the coastal lake Jamno, an area rich in history linked to the village of Jamno. It addresses the need for small living spaces in a time of limited investment areas. The concept is rooted in the local identity, which dates back to the Middle Ages when the village was an important center of Jamenian culture. Drawing inspiration from the simplified shape of a local church, the design captures a contrast between sacred and everyday life, providing a new type of residential experience.

Design Concept

The approach emphasizes modularity and adaptability, allowing for the creation of housing communities that encourage social interactions among residents. The layout reflects modern living requirements while preserving a connection to the rich historical context of the area.

Functional Layout

There is a multifunctional workspace that combines a desk and armchairs with a relaxing area, prominently featuring a sofa made from mattresses. This design enables the desk and chairs to slide into a recess in the wall, efficiently using available space. When unfolded, the sofa transforms into a bed, converting the workspace into a bedroom and enhancing functionality.

Structural Elements

A concrete float serves as both the foundation and a tank for water and waste. This choice of material supports the unit's unique needs. Movable blinds with solar modules also provide energy for the living space, embedding sustainability within the design. A sliding ladder allows easy access to a mezzanine, optimizing vertical space and adding to the overall usability.

Orientation and Views

The building is oriented with glass walls facing the lake, allowing for abundant natural light and offering views of the surrounding landscape. This setup connects the indoor space with the natural environment, enriching the living experience. Notably, the expansive glass facade facilitates a flow between the interior and the scenic views, reinforcing a close relationship with the tranquil setting of the lake.
