Karasu House II

This is the  second house (89sq.m.) being built on the same land lot as “Karasu House I”  in Karasu district of Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

While the bigger house (Karasu House I) is designed to be used by all family members and had to be more traditional to cater to the tastes of grandparents, this one is designed  only with  a head of a household in mind – a 40-something businessman living a very dynamic life with late work hours and international conference calls in the middle of the night.

In addition to the main living requirements for a residential space like a bedroom, a bathroom, a living room and a kitchen,  House II features a home office with a library and a hamam. Since the natural light only comes from one side of the house, to separate living room and home office zones wooden partitions were used to visually expand the space, to provide more natural light and better ventilation.

3D visualization of this project was done by Atabek Kasymov – thank you for your patience, especially with decoding my notes :))),  and optimism you brought to this project.
