The house of ruins is a modern house, built among the ruins of stone barn in the bag, Latvia. But they are not used as part of its structure, but were upgraded and converted into a wall surrounding the building and forming a cozy courtyard. So the house in ruins is protected from the winds of the open plain, which is from foreign eyes, giving their owners privacy. The house was built in 2002, has an area of 200 square meters and was designed by Latvian NRJA. The project has received the award from the Latvian Architecture Prize (2005), the Best Technology Award from the Interior Digest Magazine (exclusive of implementation of modern design, construction and electronic technology, 2006) and nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award (2007). And this year the competition involved in the Building of the year 2009 of ArchDaily. The combination of ancient and modern exterior interior is quite interesting and makes a striking contrast. This is optional. Another is both their desire to have privacy, yet be able to enjoy the surrounding area. This is achieved by windows are left in the old wall and through the flat roof, which leads to a spiral staircase and a playground, which reveals the entire plane. Together with the beautiful exterior and amazing style, the house is offering comfortable living and nice bedroom. The bedroom is equipped with memory foam mattresses, which will make your rest really beautiful. The rest is not everything, but the comfortable mattresses will make you to love every house.

The project is at price of 400 000, I guess euro. In designing its architects had to comply with the plan and style of the neighborhood, but as they say, and as seen by one of the third picture, literally able to break the stereotype of the others ‘vertical’ houses. Sits on the ground is free. The yard is not fenced and is a rare sight in Bulgaria – green meadow, alley and bushes and the entrance porch. And therein lies a corner table and benches, and much interest rocker. And of course, here is the entire wall French windows. Although he entered the architecture of the neighborhood, the house has its own style with, which features without imposes. When you will see those streets in Bulgaria … No need to houses are 400 000 €, but at least they are good with design features in common with and do not are one pink, one yellow, another green. I think it would fit perfectly here one billiard table in white and red. Overall, the interior is very refined. The premises are my favorite type – spacious, light and filled with the coolest mix of white walls and wooden items.
