PRIVATE DWELLING

LATVIA

1. The original outlines of the structure are preserved. The northern shed will be merged to the unfinished stone foundation to create an art studio. As the lake also lies north of the compound, this would provide a direct view to the lake from the art studio.

2. The original division between the shed and the foundation will also be preserved, and will now mark as a pathway which connects from the entrance, to the common room and studio, to the lake, through a descending cascade of stairs.

3. The original southern cabin will be split into two private dwellings, with a common space in between. The space is extended towards both the west and the east to provide a direct view towards the lake. Within shared spaces such as the common room and living rooms, the view of the lake will be seen through the studio. But through private spaces such as the bedrooms, the views of the lake are direct.
