LK & PROJEKT Architects: Winner of Architect of the Year Awards 2024. WATER & LIGHT HOUSE was implemented in Poland in 2023 (the year when the concept and the project were created). The residence boasts a distinctive feature – a swimming pool suspended in midair, enclosed by a glass wall. Positioned to capture breathtaking views, the house welcomes visitors with a narrow pool at the entrance, traversed to access the interior. The transparent entry provides a seamless view through a landscaped patio with herb gardens next to the kitchen, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor connection.

The essence of the house lies in the captivating interplay of volumes and voids. The design adheres to proportion that serves as the cohesive element, creating a visual harmony through the repetition of the parent element.

The three-story structure, encompassing a basement, ground floor and attic, has a total area of 1944 m2. The ground floor hosts a relaxation zone featuring a sauna and an indoor pool, offering access to a terrace equipped with a jacuzzi. The living area seamlessly integrates the lounge and dining spaces. The underground level houses technical rooms and a garage, ensuring functionality without compromising aesthetics.

On the upper floor there are three children’s bedrooms with walk-in closets and bathrooms, while on the opposite side, the master bedroom boasts a private bathroom and dressing room. The mezzanine overlooks the living room below, enhancing the sense of space.

The house features the use of environmentally friendly Porotherm ceramic blocks and natural travertine stone on the façade, emphasizing sustainability of the residence. Furthermore, energy-efficient technologies, including photovoltaic panels on the roof, contribute to partial autonomy.

The design allows for diverse activities within the home, from sports and work to relaxation, all while enjoying panoramic views. The incorporation of innovative materials, sustainable practices, and cutting-edge technology emphase originality, functionality, and sustainability. WATER & LIGHT HOUSE stands as a testament to the fusion of architectural brilliance and environmental responsibility. The architectural studio LK & PROJEKT Architects was founded in 1991 in Krakow. We have developed over 2000 house projects. Our chief architect Leszek.
