House, who are not afraid of landslides
In a small but picturesque village of Brenna (Poland) located atypical residential house. It is located on a hillside and looks like a complex polyhedron. Architects say that this form will prevent the housing from damage that can cause landslides, which occur in the region.
Architectural firm KWK Promes is the author of a residential Konieczny's Ark home. Judging by the title, the house really remotely resembles an ark. In areas where there is a shelter, often happens landslides after rain, so to withstand a natural disaster, it is this form has been developed by experts.
The house is set so that only one edge of it touches the ground. The rest of the slightly raised. When landslides soil will freely pass under the building, without causing her harm.
To better balance the building this unusual shape, gable roof was made more elongated. The architects decided to "not to overload the" building complex details and finish, and used as the primary building material concrete is locally produced.
The interior is also designed in a minimalist style. Designers have motivated this decision by saying that the simplicity in the house fully compensates stunning views of the valley.
