a residential extension for gathering in P\u0101vilosta<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The P\u0101vilosta House in Latvia<\/strong><\/a>, designed by MADE Arhitekti, serves as a large guest space that extends the client\u2019s main residence<\/strong><\/a> located next door. Built as a place for family and guests, the house is sited along the coastline with the water’s edge and horizon beyond visible over the treetops.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The design team was informed both by the traditional architecture of the town and the natural forces that define its climate. The project aligns with the traditional gabled silhouettes found along the streets of P\u0101vilosta, while at the same time introducing a subtle geometric twist to its rooftop<\/strong><\/a> that seems to have been carved by the sweeping coastal winds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MADE Arhitekti’s P\u0101vilosta House is located within an area of transition, between rural homes and the endless Baltic coast. The town of P\u0101vilosta is known as a settlement where life is shaped by close contact with nature, particularly the wind, waves, and shifting dunes. The architects<\/strong><\/a> acknowledge this relationship by turning a traditional roofline into a twisting vector, a movement that is intended to echo the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conversations with the client emphasized the importance of atmosphere as much as program. The building responds to this through a material and structural approach that pays tribute to natural forces, with timber construction and a slate roof shaped as if molded by water and wind. The impression is of a structure that seems to gradually rise out of the rolling terrain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the heart of the P\u0101vilosta House is a large open living space designed by MADE Arhitekti for communal activity. This central volume connects to a kitchen on the northern end and expands toward the exterior with a west-facing facade. A ten-meter (33-foot)-wide opening allows the space to open broadly onto the courtyard, emphasizing the fluid relationship between inside and out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Along the street-facing edge, the program shifts toward privacy. Four bedrooms are grouped in pairs, organized around two entrances that link back to the courtyard. With this layout, the architecture balances openness and enclosure, and creates areas for quiet retreat away from the main gathering space.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
