ResidentialHouse Adriatic

Situated within the Dalmatian region of Croatia, House Adriatic is a multi-generational home that embodies the clients values, interests and way of living. Surrounded by olive trees, and a nearby stroll to the Adriatic Sea, this special family project was a labour of love.

Dating back over 20 years ago, the project began when three brothers got together and built the building’s shell after inheriting the property from their parents. The brick-layered building sat empty, void of any windows and doors, until 2018 when a few of their children took the reins and finished the house as a summer retreat for all families to enjoy.

The house was divided into three sections with our design team focusing on the top unit that occupied the third floor.

We started the design by replanning the interior layout, working within the boundaries of the already established exterior walls. The interior layout was reimagined to maximize functionality and accommodate multiple families vacationing at one time. The planning led to rooms being arranged based on two core areas; the communal gathering space for living and dining and the private space for sleeping and bathing.

Glass sliding doors span the length of the balcony, and fully open, to subtly extend the living area allowing for an integrated indoor-outdoor experience. Using a few select domestic materials, such as rich oak woods, rustic travertine stone and light weight linens we created a simple, understated beauty within the home.

The silent and serene atmosphere of this space subtly compliments the neighbourhood and remote seaside setting where the home is situated.
