GV17 HOUSE

The vacation house in Sveti Martin na Muri is part of the complex of vacation houses of similar typology in the immediate vicinity of the Spa & Sport Resort Sveti Martin. The basic idea of the house is within its archetypal, most simple comprehension of the house. The ground floor follows the contour lines of the original terrain and the volume of the floor is vertical to the terrain. The hinge of the building includes communication area – the staircase on the ground floor – and the living quarters serving as a lobby (also leading to the two bedrooms on the first floor) such rotation enabled the terrace on the first floor and two covered areas on the ground floor: the northern one for the entry and the southern one for the barbecue area on the terrace. The theme of the house develops exactly from that twist. An additional moment appears in the distinction between the white ground floor and the first floor/attic covered with grey ventilated cement boards.
