The client had a special request and asked Robert Konieczny Czech architect to design his family house adapted to two different sites simultaneously. One of the lots near Pszczyna in Poland was familiar for us, whilst we only knew about the other one which is somewhere near Berlin. The architects thus had to face the difficult task of designing without knowing the location. To solve this problem they chose a horizontal plan which is the easiest to adapt to various terrains with different overground characteristics. After finding the ideal siting for the cylindrical structure they elaborated the designs for lots with various layout. As a result the house is now easily adaptable to any location.
