Nestled in picturesque Sun Valley, this residence is a testament to the seamless integration of rustic charm and contemporary elegance. Adorned with authentic hand-hewn heavy timber and stone with big grout joints reminiscent of old-world craftsmanship, the home imparts a warm and lived-in feel appropriate for a full time family residence.

The realization of SAAN Architekci studio is an excellent example of contemporary architecture that combines minimalist elegance with functionality and timeless character. This 480 m² suburban villa was designed as a natural extension of the surrounding landscape.
A simple house of rectangular plan with a gable roof respecting the local character of the countryside and buildings is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, which is followed by fields and meadows. Because of its direct contact with the surrounding greenery, it looks as if it grew naturally out of it.

The first request, from this young couple of professionals without children, was a conventional 2-bedroom house, without major pretensions. However, that possibility did not at all represent the couple's free and progressive, if slightly antisocial, spirit.

More than just walls, it is an immersive experience - organic forms, natural materials, and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.
