KWK PROMES

Aatrial House is an interesting project by KWK PROMES. The residence was built near the city Opole, Lower Silesia, Poland, its area is 660 sq.m. Located right near the forest, the residence is known for its nature around. It is obvious that the large number of terraces was necessary to absorb the surrounding beauty. The structure results from various transformations of a cube. After all the houses in the district were built in the 1970s and had a simple geometric form. That's why the exterior of Aatrial House looks modest. Huge windows, modern interior design and rich decoration embody good taste. Visit the architects’ site for more information.

This innovative project, called Safe house, was designed by Polish architectural studio KWK Promes. The main priority of the owner was to provide the feeling of maximum security in their future house, and as a result we can see the modern fortress, which is hidden behind an impenetrable wall. At the same time, it's a surprisingly beautiful open villa. The idea from KWK Promes: ?The house took the form of rectangular prism in which parts of the exterior walls are movable. When the house opens up to the garden, eastern and western side walls move towards the exterior fence creating a courtyard. After crossing the gate one has to wait in this safety zone before being let inside the house. In the same time, there is no risk of children escaping to the street area in an uncontrolled way while playing in the garden?. The Safe House is an ideal place for those, who appreciate privacy and security. And the good point that this technology can be used for modern and traditional, single- and multi ? storeyed houses covered with roofs of different geometry.
