Urban Loft House is a contemporary family residence designed for a household with two children, combining openness, functionality, and everyday comfort. Situated on an 800 m² plot with an apple orchard near a major metropolitan area, the house emphasizes daylight, spatial clarity, and a strong connection to the outdoors. The heart of the home is a double-height living space, 4 m tall, flooded with natural light through large floor-to-ceiling windows that open directly to the garden. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas form a continuous, flexible space, anchored by a central island and a built-in fireplace. Above the backsplash, a large window further enhances daylight penetration and visual connection to the garden. The upper floor accommodates private bedrooms and bathrooms for the family, while the attic level includes a versatile studio space with a distinctive circular window, adding character and additional daylight. The design prioritizes light, volume, and functionality while maintaining comfort for family life. Architectural expression combines clean, modern lines with subtle barn-house influences, featuring a pitched roof, vertical window compositions, and carefully framed views. Premium materials, including hand-moulded clinker brick, steel roofing, and dark-framed aluminum windows, create a contemporary aesthetic, while natural finishes and daylight optimization ensure a warm, inviting interior.
