Switzerland-based architect Ewa Kaszuba is the creative mind behind the House for Ela. It is a cozy home nestled in a forested site just in a spa town near Warsaw, Poland. It is designed for a retired couple and the house is a contemporary approach to the grand parkland villas. The architect was tapped to design a house which replaced the existing villa which had deteriorated to a point where it required demolition.
Kaszuba shared with Dezeen, "The client wanted bright living spaces with plenty of southern exposure and garden views. At the same time, they valued their privacy, so we knew that the house had to be oriented primarily to the private side of the property. The house achieves a balance between monumentality and domesticity. It certainly makes its presence known in the streetscape and does not go unnoticed.
