The Dune House

Designed by Archispektras in Pape, Latvia, The Dune House is a vacation residence for a kitesurfer’s family, facing the endless horizon towards the Baltic sea.

The house is situated in the dunes of the Baltic sea. A sharp linear thatched structure is elegantly intersecting and engaging with curvy lines of it’s surroundings. The main facade material – straw – was inspired by a traditional building method in the area.

The aim was to design a vacation house for a kitesurfer’s family where they could relax in a most comfortable way. All rooms face the endless horizon towards the sea.

Living room, kitchen, dining and lounge areas are grouped into one. Spaces on different levels create a magnificent experience where social interactions emerge. Light coming from top adds to the breezy character of the house.

Interior is full of wood and warmth. A little bit raw and soft at the same time. It invites and brings you to the holiday mood.
