房子的地点位于立陶宛的一个郊区。南面与一条当地的公路相邻，挤在两个邻居之间，该地块标志着一块景观，一个芬芳的郊区草地，下降到北面一条茂盛的小溪。该地块所面临的两种截然相反的条件导致了一个体积，就像被切成两半一样，里面充满了一层草，下面是生活空间。为了补偿当地的生物多样性，朝北的倾斜屋顶上盛开着草药和鲜花，为周围的蜜蜂和小昆虫创造了一个来自河岸的连续绿色视野。
The site for the house is located in a suburban area in Lithuania. Bordering a local road on the South, squeezed in between two neighbors, the plot marked a piece of landscape, a fragrant suburban meadow descending to a lush creek on the North. The two opposing conditions the site is facing resulted in a volume as if sliced in half-filled with a layer of grasses sheltering living space underneath. Aiming to compensate the local biodiversity, the North facing sloping roof is blooming with herbs and flowers for surrounding bees and little insects creating a continuous green vista from the banks of the river.
同时，切开的体量保证了北面临河的后院整天不受干扰地得到阳光照射。体积被大的木制露台打断，创造出一种孤独的感觉，并将河流框起来，就像房子外面的另一个房间。宽敞的露台自然地诱导许多室内活动在开放的天空下进行，与茂盛的菜园接壤，可以赤脚进入。
Together with that, the sliced volume makes sure the river-facing backyard on the North gets undisturbed sunshine all day long. The volume is interrupted by the large wooden terrace that creates a feeling of solitude and frames the river as if another room outside the house. The spacious terrace naturally induces many indoor activities to take place under an open sky bordering a lush vegetable garden to be accessible barefoot.
白色的室内空间作为一个禁欲主义的生活背景，充满了对最重要的家具和物品的精心选择，每一个都有自己独特的故事。宽敞的生活区面向河流，一个巨大的开口使自然成为室内的中心人物。朝北的窗户提供了最大的视野，在炎热的季节也不会过热，而在南边，大的上层开口确保了整个寒冷季节的高质量的光线和温暖。
White interior space acts as an ascetic background for living, filled with a mindful selection of most important furniture and objects, each carrying its own unique story. A spacious living area faces the river with a large opening enhancing nature as the central figure of its interior. The North oriented windows provide maximum views with no overheat during hot seasons while on the Southern side the big upper-floor opening ensures quality light and warmth throughout the cold months.
一个相当务实的朝向道路的立面用粗糙的拉毛石膏覆盖，加强了斜坡的倾斜度，并对邻近房屋的城市环境作出反应。房子和河流拒绝围墙，向周围环境开放，成为它所处的自然环境的一个连续部分。从无价值的东西中解脱出来，它旨在激发一种珍惜生活经验而非财产的生活方式。
A rather pragmatic elevation towards the road is covered with rough brushed plaster enhancing the inclination of the slope and reacting to a more urban setting of neighboring houses. The House and the River refuse to fence off becoming open to the surrounding context, a continuous part of the nature it is placed within. Freeing itself from worthless things it aims to inspire a lifestyle of cherishing the experience of living instead of possessions.
