Viacheslav Deev of Bureau Deev ARCHITECTS design a house in Estonia, bringing together exposed concrete, timber, pale stone and porcelain surfaces in a restrained material palette.

The project encompasses shared living spaces, private bedrooms and a dedicated spa suite, arranged across three levels distributed vertically according to function. The basement accommodates the garage and service areas, while the ground floor brings the kitchen and living area together in a shared open space. The spa facilities, comprising a lounge, sauna and hammam, are also located on this level.

Exposed concrete provides a recurring architectural reference throughout the interiors, while the character of each room emerges through its relationship with neighbouring materials. Timber features in broad wall panels, finely articulated slatted elements and furniture surfaces. Upholstery, soft textiles and sheer curtains introduce a contrasting tactile dimension, balancing the solidity of stone and concrete. Despite these variations, the palette remains deliberately limited, allowing texture, grain and surface finishes to define the atmosphere.

In the main living area, pale stone cladding frames the fireplace, incorporating a recessed log store into the composition. Above, a timber slat ceiling extends the material language across the room, creating a visual connection between vertical and horizontal surfaces. Generous glazed openings draw natural daylight into the interior, while full-height curtains soften the perimeter. The kitchen integrates seamlessly into this shared environment, maintaining continuity between the different functional areas.

Three bedrooms occupy the upper floor, establishing a more private residential zone. The night zone explores individual interpretations of the same material vocabulary. In one, a wall of diagonally grained timber panels forms a backdrop to the softly upholstered bed, while a large window opens views towards the surrounding trees and water. Another bedroom juxtaposes exposed concrete with a ribbed timber headboard wall, complemented by a low-profile cabinet. Variations in wood grain, surface rhythm and material finish give each space its own identity without departing from the overall design language.

The spa suite extends the residential experience through a sequence of spaces dedicated to relaxation and wellbeing. A lounge, sauna and hammam form a distinct part of the programme, complementing the shared living areas and private accommodation.



Across the residence, the interplay of continuous surfaces, carefully articulated details and natural light establishes a coherent interior language. Rather than relying on decorative contrasts, the project draws its character from materiality, proportion and the considered relationship between spaces with different functions.
