project
RUST HOUSE

author's description

The project is a combination of textures and shapes that play an important role in creating its aesthetics. Metal is an accent material - it defines the character and mood of the building, where water dominates.

The house's floor plans have many open spaces, with almost no internal partitions. The second floor features a kitchen and dining room with panoramic windows and views of the terrace. There is also a bathroom and a shower with a sauna. The second floor is the lounge area.

Thanks to skylights, the space here is always filled with light. A spacious terrace with a pool is the heart of the rest house, an ideal place for family evenings. The accent is a glass box with greenery inside. The "RUST HOUSE" project is located on the outskirts of Lviv. Nevertheless, the biggest challenge was to blend it into a typical neighborhood with typical buildings. Tubądzin Group tiles account for 70% of all tiles used in the project.

jury's opinion

The austere yet cozy design of the building's interiors and facade surprises with its depth. The open spaces of the house, located on the outskirts of Lviv, delight with its synergistic approach to reality. Forms, shapes and structures mix here, alluding to the multidimensionality and spatiality of the world. This broad perspective has been conveyed, among other things, with Tubądzin Group's ceramic tiles from Dorota Koziara's collection, Cielo e Terra Bianco Mat.
