Place. The plot is located in the vicinity of Wielkopolski National Park. Nature plays the key role here. Genius loci of the place, or its spirit, is an ancient alder. Trees near the shore of the lake give shade and shelter from the sun. There is noise of leaves and water, wind, birds and their singing. Nature gives us freedom and peace. We are a part of it. This beauty of nature moves us, as something that goes above and beyond us... The essence of this place is insulation from the Poznań suburbs and their chaotically growing architecture. Making it an enclave of peace, space for the lake and trees, wide open.

Function. The building’s entrances is on its east side, as is the dawn. Inviting with greenery flowing through glass doors, opening with views to all four sides of the world. The entrance hall is spatially connected to the living room and is a part of it. It has a display function for art, and separates the day zone from the night zone. The bedroom part faces the lake on west side. The form of the building is dictated by its function and stems from it. It constitutes two intersecting blocks topped by gabled roofs. Elevations are covered with larch panels. Added glass and reinforced concrete emanate with their modern look while serving as the interior finish, a good background for numerous paintings.
