Flügel Haus: A Unique Residential House Designed by Viacheslav Deev

Creating a Harmonious Connection with Nature

The plot of land where Flügel Haus, a private residence, stands is nestled in a city within a private housing development. Surrounded by pine trees, the house seamlessly blends into its forest-like surroundings. The presence of the trees and the variation in terrain played a significant role in the design, acting as invisible assistants in creating a harmonious connection with nature.

The initial concept for Flügel Haus was to create a structure composed of two distinct elements - a social space (common area) and a private zone. The common area, situated along the road, is an open, glass structure that offers breathtaking views while maintaining privacy. The private zone, located at the back of the plot, is a separate block with strategically placed windows that maximize natural light and provide a sense of openness.

The social space, covered by a roof resembling the wings of a bird in take-off, evokes a feeling of open space and a strong connection with the surrounding landscape. This unique architectural feature not only adds visual interest but also enhances the overall form of the building. The private zone, on the other hand, focuses on functionality and privacy, with each bedroom having its own en-suite bathroom.

Flügel Haus was realized using a combination of reinforced concrete for the structural construction and styrofoam for insulation. The dimensions of the building are 15.2m (depth) x 17.2m (width) x 8.4m (height), providing ample space for comfortable living.

Designed by Viacheslav Deev in collaboration with Ain Koit, Flügel Haus is a testament to their expertise and innovation. The project commenced in July 2011 and was completed in November 2012 in Tallinn. Construction began in January 2012 and concluded in March 2013, resulting in a stunning residential house that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings.

Flügel Haus has been recognized for its outstanding design and craftsmanship, receiving the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2014. This accolade is a testament to the remarkable level of excellence, technical prowess, and artistic skill showcased by this unique residential house. Flügel Haus truly embodies the spirit of innovation and creativity in the realm of art, architecture, and design.
