Salt House by Brigita Bula Arhitekti
Salt House designed in 2019 by Brigita Bula Arhitekti is located on the seashore of Pavilosta ? a small seaside town of fishermen, Latvia.
Description
Salt House is located on the edge of the Pavilosta historical center where all the streets cross at perpendicular angles on a grid that abuts the sea. P?vilosta has a temperate climate and strong wind, so the building was constructed with thick, monolithic, lime-plastered blocks, with no additional insulation necessary. The cross-section of the one-story building was inspired by traditional fishermen’s houses prevalent in the area, with an interior that opens to the building?s full height and width. Within, open and closed spaces overlap, providing a semi-transparent space of both openness and intimacy. Architect’s vision of how the architectural concept should be made is to consider tradition, climate, landscape, ecology both of materials and processes, abilities of local craftsmen and builders, contemporary technological requirements, needs and budget of the client and many more. To create her subtle architectural language, architect Brigita Bula takes into account all these aspects, and only then architecture that fits into the place and minds of the people, is born. Salt house is the answer to all the questions and considerations above, in the exact place and time – Pavilosta, Latvia, now.
The house is located 50 kilometres from Liepaja and 250km from the capital city Riga, right on the sea...
