House in Jaunsāti
Remains of historic barn foundations mark the location of a weekend house within a rural farmstead. A storage shed, an outdoor fireplace area and a sauna are all accommodated under one roof.
Local architectural tradition interpreted to fulfill contemporary necessities. The new building retains the character of the previous barn thus becoming an organic part of the complex.
