Descrierea proiectului

“There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in…” -Leonard Cohen The main challenge when reconstructing and extending the old family house into a holiday house was utilising the existing local advantages – natural and built environment. The plot is located by the local road Smilovci – Protopopinci, at the foot of Stara Planina mountain, near Smilovci lake. Existing house, although constructively preserved, functionally didn’t meet the needs of the client, so it had to be adapted and extended. In addition to replacing the old roof construction and expanding the building to the backyard, landscaping was also renewed, at the entrance to the plot, as well as in the backyard. Functionally, house is divided into ground floor (containing living room, kitchen with dining room, and terrace), and loft (with three bedrooms and bathroom). The access to the house is on the northern side, while the southern side of the existing house is extended with a terrace. This terrace is an inter-space between the interior and backyard. On the outer side of terrace, there are mobile perforated panels, with function of sun protection. These panels are perforated using digital design and fabrication, inspired by geometry motifs of ćilim, traditional carpet from East Serbia. In this way, the play of light and shadows is enabled, creating different light effects on the inside surfaces.

Our work is based on constant research and experimentation through all phases of the project. We consider architecture as the process that does not end with the realization/construction, but continues throughout the life of the facility and interacting with users. That’s why we focus on relationships with clients and users of space, so the social dimension of architecture plays an important role in our work. Our approach to architecture is workshop-like, each project is a special challenge, and the ultimate goal is providing the innovative and unique solutions that deviate from the standard forms and conventional designs. We do not shy away from the constraints; we transform them into a design tool! The specificity of our study is a research, design and presentation of space through architectural scale models, which allow easier understanding of space and defining the strategy work. In addition to research models, which are an integral part of the design process, we also create scale models of existing projects or completed structures in order of presentation. We approach each scale model with care, thoroughly analyzing the needs and purposes of the model, which further defines its production technique, the degree of detail, size and so on. In our work we are constantly exploring different techniques through experimentation with form and using different materials. Activities of our studio are extended by participation in workshops, exhibitions, festivals, and other events in the field of architecture and design. Studio is founded by Dejan Mitov, Jelena Mitov and Krsto Radovanovic in 2009, while studying at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad.
