Kavgolovo Guest- and Bathhouse

The Kavgolovo Guest- and Bathhouse, designed by AB CHVOYA, stands as a testament to modern architectural principles fused with the natural beauty of its surroundings. Nestled on the northern slope of a hill, this guesthouse not only offers breathtaking views of the adjacent lake but also exemplifies an innovative approach to landscape integration. With a gross built area of 52 square meters, the design emphasizes a minimalist aesthetic while ensuring comfort and functionality for its guests.

The layout of the bathhouse is meticulously planned, with all rooms designed to face the picturesque plot. This orientation allows guests to enjoy the serene landscape, while the kitchen, strategically placed at the back of the building, benefits from natural light provided by a skylight. Such thoughtful design considerations highlight the importance of light and space in creating a welcoming environment. The building's exterior, adorned with darkened wooden planks, harmonizes with the surrounding nature, creating a seamless transition between the structure and the landscape.

A distinctive feature of the Kavgolovo Guesthouse is its gallery, which not only serves as a functional space but also adds an element of architectural interest to the facade. This gallery is complemented by an accent metal column, painted red, providing a striking contrast to the natural materials used throughout the structure. The careful selection of materials, including calibrated logs for the steam room wall, showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail that AB CHVOYA is known for. This combination of textures creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxation.

The roof of the bathhouse is adorned with natural grasses, further enhancing its ecological footprint and ensuring it blends harmoniously with the environment. This sustainable approach not only contributes to the building's aesthetic value but also improves insulation and reduces energy consumption. The restrained color palette employed in the design reinforces the connection to nature while offering a tranquil retreat for guests seeking solace away from the bustling city life.

Overall, the Kavgolovo Guest- and Bathhouse by AB CHVOYA is more than just a building; it is a harmonious blend of architecture and nature. It embodies the principles of sustainable design, showcasing how modern construction can coexist with the natural landscape. This project is a true reflection of AB CHVOYA's commitment to creating spaces that inspire and rejuvenate, making it an ideal destination for those looking to escape into nature while enjoying modern comforts.
