FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
WD: Our task was to create a fully ecological house, healthy for the builders and future residents, and taking into account the entire product life cycle. At the same time, the house was designed to be mobile, both the entire building and the foundations. We have developed an original system for building houses from a wooden 3D frame and point foundations that can be moved with the house. The house was supposed to correspond with nature and provide a healthy and beautiful living environment for its inhabitants.
FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
WD: We wanted to fulfill the client's dream of beautifully integrating the building into the surrounding nature. The house is located in a unique place in a landscape park and we wanted the shape to fit naturally into the landscape. So that the house doesn't scream. At the same time, we gave every household member a democratic opportunity to interact with what is outside. Thanks to this, their lives changed... to become fuller, healthier and gave them a lot of inner peace. Our client said that he has traveled almost the whole world... but this home keeps him here... giving him solace and satisfying all his needs.
FS: What are your future plans for this award winning design?
WD: We would like this house to win many more awards..to show others that beautiful ecological modular houses can be created. But the most important thing is our customer's satisfaction. After all, this house was built for him... We wish our clients the same satisfaction. We are doing everything to make this happen.
FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
WD: The modular house design is based on years of our preparations and experience in designing and building houses. First, we built our own house according to the assumptions. When they were confirmed, we implemented them in our work. It was a very natural, long but effective process.
FS: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?
WD: This project was commissioned by our client. However, we had already developed a building system and offered it to our client. He agreed immediately. Potwm admitted that this house exceeded his wildest expectations
FS: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?
WD: As far as we know, no one in the world produces mobile modular houses using only wood. We plan to continue to produce our houses according to our original design. We hope that fate will allow us to do this for as long as possible.
FS: What made you design this particular type of work?
WD: Responsibility as a designer. We wanted to design and build ecological and healthy houses. Having experienced severe illness resulting from environmental pollution ourselves, we wanted to give others the opportunity to surround themselves with healthy materials and a healthy living environment.
FS: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?
WD: We think there are many of them... Philip Johnson, Le Corbusier, Ludwig van der Rohe, Walter Gropius and Richard Neutra... and many others. We have made observations a daily ritual. We are constantly learning and confronting with the world.
FS: Who is the target customer for his design?
WD: We think that everyone who cares about their carbon footprint, healthy life, and wants to build a house easily.
FS: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?
WD: It is democratic like all our projects. Every resident of this and our other houses has contact with nature, whether they stay in the living room or in their own bedroom... or take a bath... This is unusual for the residents and completely new.
FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
WD: DA House is an abbreviation of name of our authors studio "Dom Architektów"
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
