SP House

Set against a panoramic lake view, the starting point of the design was to establish a seamless continuity between the landscape and the interior, bringing the living spaces together as a unified spatial experience.

With its high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glazing, the house allows the lake to become more than a view — it becomes an active part of the interior. The silhouette of the lake, unfolding beyond the mountainside and through the trees, creates a natural backdrop that can be experienced from almost every point within the space.

The ground-floor layout we worked on was redesigned to strengthen this sense of continuity. At the entrance, full-height storage and wardrobe elements create a cohesive architectural surface, while the WC door was concealed within the cabinetry as an integrated, almost invisible transition. The material palette flows continuously from the entrance into the living spaces, reinforcing a sense of spatial unity.

At the heart of the home, a double-sided glass fireplace was designed as the central architectural element. Positioned between the living and dining areas, it functions not as a physical divider but as a visual connector between the two spaces. Its floating upper form preserves the sense of depth within the interior, while the fire becomes a shared focal point visible from both living areas. The lower base creates a functional threshold serving both spaces.

On the living-room side, the fireplace incorporates a TV unit and wood storage. On the opposite side, facing the dining area, open shelving creates a library, while lounge chairs positioned beside the fireplace and facing the lake form a quiet reading and conversation corner.

Full-height mirrors used in the dining area visually extend the lake view into the interior, amplifying the sense of depth and expanding the spatial experience.

The seating area was positioned to maintain visual connection with both the lake and the screen, while its proximity to the kitchen minimizes everyday circulation. The kitchen island establishes a natural boundary between the living areas and, together with the adjacent wine wall and integrated niche, becomes a social gathering point that encourages interaction.
