Search for an optimal solution has led to a creation of a new type of house

Site near the forest, where the building is designed has one drawback: south-western access. In order to avoid the functional collision of the driveway and the garden, the driveway was 'pushed' into the ground. This prompted the idea of a driveway leading inside to the the ground floor level, from underneath the building, which became possible thanks to the creation of an inner atrium with the driveway in it. This in turn has made it possible to obtain a new type of house, which is the reverse of an atrial building. The Aatrial House is closed to the inside and open to the surroundings.

Aatrial House, built for a family of three, rises from a beautiful open site not far from Opole in the Southern Polish region of Silesia. The plot had one main drawback; access. To avoid having the driveway running right through the garden, the access was partly sunk into the ground and the garden level raised, using tonnes of earth trucked in from a nearby highway construction site.
The house's inner atrium arose out of the way the road rises up in the heart of the house - from a distance, the clean, modern lines give nothing away, but as the motorist approaches the cobbled roadway dips away beneath the building, then rises up to the internal courtyard.
The traditional functions of an atrium - conversation, circulation and relaxation - have been replaced by those of traffic and entry.
KWK PROMES, the only Polish practice in this year's 101 Architects directory, was founded by partners Robert Konieczny and Marlena Wolnik in 1999, and has offices in Ireland and Poland.
Their modern aesthetic is well represented by this expansive new villa, with its sharp details, like the skewed steel and glass staircase, scattered around the minimally furnished living spaces.
The house opens up to the landscape on all sides, thanks to large expanses of glass and terraces that reach into into the garden, along with a reflecting pool. In contrast, the central atrium space has just five windows. Here the standard plan of the classic Roman atrium has been redefined: Aatrial House closes inwards and opens outwards.

Location
The house is situated in Poland, close to Opole. Majority of low density settlement in the surroundings is formed of “cube - houses”, buildings typical for the 1970’s.

Idea
One hectare site near the forest, where the building is designed has only one weak point: south-western access. An obvious conflict develops between the driveway and the garden. The idea arose to lower the driveway in order to separate it from the garden. This prompted another idea - of a driveway leading inside to the ground floor level, from underneath the building, which became possible thanks to the creation of an inner atrium with the driveway in it.

New type of the house
As a result, the building opens up onto all sides with its terraces in an unrestricted manner, and the only way to get into the garden is through the atrium and the house.

This in turn has made it possible to obtain a new spatial model of the house, which is the reverse of an atrial building. The aatrial house is closed to the inside and opened to the surroundings.

Structure and materials
The gateway is situated in the highest point of the site sloping to the east side. The 10 metres wide driveway following slope’s declivity, was additionally lowered underneath the ground level, while the garden was partly raised above this level. As a result, the garden is separated from the driveway and the surroundings with a 2.5m high retaining wall. The building was situated on the garden level. For the sake of neighbouring buildings, typical polish “cube - houses” arisen it 1970’s, the structure of the house results from various transformations of a cube.

As a result of stretching and bending particular surfaces of the cube, all the walls, floors and ceilings were defined, together with inner atrium and terraces. This principle of formation has not only created the structure of the house, but also defined interior and exterior architecture, including use of materials. The building is a reinforced concrete monolith, and concrete is at the same time the finishing material of the transformed cube, while all additional elements are finished with dark ebony.
The driveway and retaining walls were made out of quarried granite blocks, the material characteristic for the surroundings.
