Guest House | Victor Geynbikhner Architects

This is a preliminary sketch of a house in a series of developments that are aimed to be built in a small village in Russia. The territory of the village is 5 hectares divided into eight land plots. The project envisages creating the experience of comfort and pleasure in a pure natural environment.
The total building area of the presented guest house is about 240 meters’ square. Parking space for cars and motorcycles is conveniently located in the basement that is 120 meters’ square.
Developing the project, I adhered to the principle of a single block to facilitate maximal thermal efficiency. The local climate conditions are severe, and in winter it could reach -40 °C, therefore keeping warm is highly important.
The house is intended to be a welcoming place for guests. That is why all four bedrooms are planned as en-suites.
The first-floor is as high as 4,5 meters. It allowed me to introduce an additional sleeping area for children above some of the bedrooms.
