Located in the village of Balahovit, within Armenia's Kotayk province, this residence occupies a 1,128-square-meter plot and is thoughtfully crafted for a family of five. The design harmoniously blends functionality with aesthetic appeal, all while adhering to a modest budget. This project exemplifies how thoughtful design can create a harmonious living environment that meets the needs of a modern family, all within the constraints of a limited budget.

Central to the home's design is the strategic clustering of living spaces around a central core. This core, encompassing the main entrance and hall, serves as a pivotal axis, seamlessly connecting the private and public zones of the house. It provides direct access to the backyard, enhancing the fluidity between indoor and outdoor living.

The facade is adorned with tuff stone, a material chosen for its natural beauty and its ability to forge a deep connection between the building and its surrounding environment. The earthy tones and textures of tuff stone not only enhance the visual appeal of the residence but also echo the natural landscape, creating a harmonious blend between the structure and its setting. Beyond its aesthetic qualities, tuff stone offers practical benefits; its porous nature contributes to improved thermal insulation, enhancing the home's energy efficiency.

The design also takes into account the local climate and environment, incorporating sustainable practices where feasible. Natural ventilation and lighting are optimized through the home's orientation and the strategic placement of windows and openings, reducing reliance on artificial systems and enhancing energy efficiency.
