Nestled in Pāvilosta, a town with roots in fishing, this residence subtly blends into its vibrant surroundings, drawing inspiration from the area’s traditional wooden homes. Designed as a family retreat, the structure reflects the calm and resilience of the Baltic Sea. Key features include a dual-sloped roof compliant with local architectural norms and expansive windows that connect the interior with the seaside ambiance. The design thoughtfully integrates window shutters, ensuring privacy and protection, particularly during off-seasons. The interior, characterized by its use of natural materials like wood and concrete, mirrors the external simplicity and coastal context. Sustainable practices are embedded in the design, with a recirculation system for energy efficiency. This Pāvilosta home, with its minimalist yet functional approach, harmonizes with its seaside setting while embracing modern living standards.
