In this project, the design began with a clean slate—an open space without walls or partitions. The clients, a young married couple, requested a layout that included an open living room and kitchen area, a bedroom, a children's room, two bathrooms, and a separate dressing room.

Anuva is an interior architecture project designed within a residential complex, where the primary challenge was to enhance the layout of a standard apartment. The original design combined the living room and dining room into one open space, which, while functional, compromised the spatial quality and aesthetic appeal of both areas.

Amidst a mountainous severity, a small stream river cuts its presence. Time and climate – the ultimate artisans. From this panorama, large blocks of sawn local granite appear, sheltering a small house. Just like the river, this house represents a (brief) moment of “reconciliation” with Nature.
