The place drags in to live there. 8blacks_complex.jpg 8blacks_14.jpg 8blacks_18.JPG 8 BLACKS consists of: 1. A group of buildings for daily living, located around the paved courtyard and creating center of gravity for the complex, 2. Guest house and Sauna house located at a distance, 3. Cellar sat within relief and ancillary buildings. 4. Football and Volleyball field 8blacks_GP.jpg Placed within the existing relief the cellar volume is ending up the planed garden with a solid rock wall. More over the garden withinthe gully will be protected from prevailing winds. The cellar is located at a distance from living complex, while the visual link isprovided through an opening in the garage building. 8blacks_6.jpg 8blacks_2.jpg 8 BLACKS is a modern approach for traditional living complex in Kurzeme adopting the archetypal cross-section as a common element for all buildings. Union of traditional and modern in the image of the house entail sense of inheritance and belonging at the same time providing the necessary comfort for active living. 8blacks_5.jpg 8blacks_3.jpg 8blacks_7.jpg 8blacks_1.jpg Expressive nature of the terrain - a swift river, remarkable relief, wind - defined the minimalist form of buildings; they do not compete with nature. 8blacks_4.jpg Indoor space is formed following a principle of - box in a box - free-standing room blocks with built-in furniture walls. The space above the ceilings is used as extra sleeping area. 8blacks_11.jpg 8blacks_9.jpg 8blacks_30.JPG 8blacks_32.JPG 8blacks_35.JPG 8blacks_28.JPG 8blacks_19.JPG 8blacks_15.JPG 8 BLACKS - 8 black painted wood planking buildings forming a complex.Large windows of the buildings provide a visual link with the surroundings; the terraces of various sizes offer an opportunity to go out while being in the house. 8blacks_33.JPG 8blacks_10.jpg 8blacks_26.JPG 8blacks_attistiba_anim.gif Guest house 8blacks_13.jpg 8blacks_12.jpg 8blacks_8.jpg 8blacks_20.JPG Using one material for both - walls and roofs – homogenous look of the building is achieved; surface texture and details are reached by the finish of raw wood planking. 8blacks_29.JPG 8blacks_25.JPG 8blacks_17.JPG 8blacks_22.jpg 8blacks_16.JPG 8blacks_34.JPG 8blacks_21.JPG 8blacks_36.JPG 8blacks_23.JPG Two-storey volume separated by a gallery and a terrace from the rest of the residential building contains a fireplace room on the ground floor and owner’s working room on the upper level. Construction of walls in this building is different from other volumes – metal frame construction with glass fill and rare wooden siding creates light games in the interior. Wooden boards, opened up towards the river, allow watching it. 8blacks_37.JPG In contrast of 8 BLACKS the inner courtyard is connected to garage building, made of white polycarbonate and operating as a large lamp and illuminating the yard.
