O4 House in Osijek

This house was designed by Helena Alfirevic Arbutina to enable its occupants to feel safe, secure and comfortable in an intimate setting as part of a community. Working with it's environment, the house has a defined spacial structure consisting of flat and sharp cubes on the side of the house with mild and rounded forms on the central part, accompanied by strong doors to add an element of privacy.

The house is sectioned into three wings to group and separate functional areas. The east wing has the garage (which accommodates a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom), a green patio and an intimate  wellness garden. On the other side is the wing that houses bedrooms for children and a shared bathroom. This wing is connected to communal areas such as the kitchen, pantry, living room and dining room. The living room, which is connected to both sides of the house by doubled glazed openings and doors, is in the shape of a rounded cube and has an immense height of interior space and a stunning sculptural fireplace. This makes up part of the central wing which is a public space and ideal for welcoming guests. Then along the northern terrace, an area for food preparation is located.

I really love the wooden details, white interior and pebbles that are located along passages and pathways to add an earthy feel indoors. The O4 House is a system of space and is intended to work with nature. It reflects tranquility, beauty and ensures sophisticated eco-friendliness. It's modernity and edginess showcase how humans can connect with the environment organically and fluidly.
