35:35 Slope House

The owners entrusted the task of developing the design to an experienced architect, Paweł Naduk, who is the owner of 77 Studio architecture studio in Warsaw. The architect decided to subtly integrate the block of the building into the natural shape of the escarpment.

The individual levels of the house, like earth layers, penetrate the structure of the escarpment, becoming almost invisible from the opposite side of the quay. It seems that they disappear under the hunched fold of the land. The block blends into the surroundings, becomes barely noticeable from the street and neighbouring buildings, providing the residents with a sense of intimacy.
Architecture does not compete with the landscape. It interacts with it, sometimes blending in with the surroundings, other times discreetly giving way to it. Nature surrounds the building from all sides and even goes up its slope to the roof with a natural garden, from where there is a wide view of the whole area.

Everything in the house seems to be subordinated to an unobstructed view. The block of the villa stretches panoramically along the shoreline and opens with a large glazing to the Vistula River.

And here the most difficult thing seemed to have been achieved - the infinity pool adjacent to the living room and bedroom, from the perspective of the interior, merged completely with the river located 35 m and 35 cm below. In this way, the effect of the final connection of architecture with the existing landscape was achieved - the immediate proximity of the Vistula River, which seems to almost penetrate inside the house. In addition, the terrace protruding towards the river, surrounded by the pool water, was suspended in space like a wooden bridge. Hence the name of the building - 35:35 House.

The building’s layout was formed in the shape of letter C, creating a sheltered, secluded zone, necessary due to strong gusts of wind occurring in the open area. In this way, a patio with a fireplace was created, which is protected from rain and the scorching sun by a sail unrolled on a metal mast.

The building has a reinforced concrete structure, which, due to its location on a slope, ensures its safety and durability. The side walls and retaining walls were finished with graphite fiber-cement boards, which constitute a very good background for the greenery.
The roof covering was designed using green roof technology, which gives the building a unique character.

The house with a usable area of 312 m2 has a very clear, vertical division of functions. Most of the usable rooms are located on the middle level with the best exposure of the landscape. There is a living room with a dining area, a kitchen, a study and a master bedroom with an open bathroom.

The other rooms are located on the lowest level, with direct access to the cosy garden in the escarpment.
