'floating barns' for long latvian summers by NRJA
latvia design studio NRJA's latest project 'floating barn' is designed as a small home for long latvian summers adopting
the archetypal cross-section and built upon pontoons. using one material for both walls and roofs, a homogenous look
of the building is achieved; surface texture and details are reached by the finish of raw wood planking. large windows of
the building provide a visual link with the surrounding; the terraces offers an opportunity to go out while being in the house.
indoor space is formed with built-in furniture walls - the space above the ceilings being is used as sleeping area.
a power generator, water tanks and filtered greywater collectors are incorporated in pontoons.
