120 m² Family House, Dobele
The 120 m² family house in Dobele is designed as a permanent home with everything needed for comfortable everyday living. It is located in a calm and green area, offering a quieter setting while still maintaining convenient access to the city. The building is planned in an L-shape so that the living area opens toward the yard, and the terrace is positioned on this inner garden side as a natural extension of the home. Large windows are oriented toward the courtyard, creating a private and comfortable atmosphere in daily life.
At the centre of the house is an open-plan living room combined with the kitchen and dining area. This space is designed as the heart of the home — a place for everyday routines, time together, and hosting guests. The kitchen is planned with modern appliances, practical work surfaces, functional storage solutions, and a conveniently positioned pantry for everyday use. The layout also includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a technical room, ensuring that all essential functions are close at hand without disrupting the overall visual clarity of the interior.
The building is planned using combined timber-based construction solutions — external walls with insulated timber structures and fibre cement cladding, while glued laminated timber is integrated into the load-bearing elements. The roof is designed with a PVC membrane finish, which is suitable for flat roofs and provides both durability and a clean architectural appearance. The heating system is based on a heat pump and water-based underfloor heating, while the planned 2.70 m ceiling height will give the interior a greater sense of openness. Large windows facing the garden side will provide natural light and a strong connection to the outdoor space.
The area around the house is planned with paved surfaces, a timber terrace on the garden side, and landscaping that includes lawn, thuja hedges, and other planting solutions. The view from the house is directed toward the inner courtyard, creating a sheltered and comfortable outdoor setting. The layout is developed logically and without unnecessary complexity, with the main focus placed on practical everyday living where everything is clear, usable, and well considered.
The Dobele house is designed with a clear purpose — to serve as a safe, functional, and comfortable permanent home for a family. Nothing here is excessive, but everything essential is planned with care, from the layout to the material choices and site landscaping.
It is a straightforward and well-considered residential solution designed for long-term everyday comfort and practical use.
