Located in a pastoral landscape on Poland's Baltic Sea coast, House Wolin is a 59-square-meter, three-level holiday retreat designed by Pankowska & Rohrhofer. The A-frame wooden structure, completed in 2023, is a modern interpretation of the "Brda" houses, a regional style of prefabricated wooden cabins common during Poland's communist era. The design emphasizes a close relationship between the interior and exterior, with each of the three levels offering a unique spatial experience. The ground floor features two expansive terraces that extend the living area and create a fluid connection with the natural surroundings. The sleeping area on the topmost level is bathed in light from a generously proportioned window that frames the sky. Below ground level, a secluded bathroom receives natural light through a small, high-placed window, creating an introverted and private space. Pine wood is the dominant material throughout the project, used for both the facade and interior walls, as well as for custom furniture and cabinetry. The flooring consists of pine wood slats. A key feature of the design is its playful use of color, which imbues each level with a distinct atmosphere. The wooden slats and terraces on the ground floor are painted a vibrant melon yellow, while the bedroom and balcony feature a calming blue. The bathroom is finished in an earthy red color scheme.
