House B Klis

House B Klis

A standard program of a four-room holiday home on a non-standard location. The harsh windy location on Klis has a very demanding topography of the cliff. The shape of the house solves the equation of the given location by bridging. The layout position of the house protects it from strongest northern winds with it's back turned from it while focusing the view to the cityscape. The house is characterized by an uninterrupted array of all living spaces in one go that have a constant visual communication. The whole experience is enriched by an overflow pool that mirrors part of the view towards Split. Facade has niches that surround and passively protect the windows from direct contact with the sun in summer, but let the sun in during winter and also mitigate wind gusts. Inside, these niches become part of the hidden service & storage part of the house. Belonging to this location makes this house unique.
