The idea for this design refers to the traditional polish houses with eaves, which size and functional principle has been adapted to life and needs of an average modern family. The width of the eaves as well as their inclination are defined in a way that during summer can protect the living space against overheating and during winter provide it with the direct sunlight. The eaves create a natural shelter for terrace and driveway which becomes simultaneously a carport for two cars.
