The design

From the driveway you see two garage doors in a stone plinth; the house and its wraparound terrace sit on top.

Vela, Italian for sail, is named after its roof: a deep, thin flat slab that seems to hover over the terrace. The house is designed for a sloping lot and puts the slope to work.

The lower level sits partly in the ground. The two-car garage, about 40 m² (431 ft²), opens at driveway height. Beside it are a multipurpose room of about 30 m² (323 ft²) for a home cinema, a gym or a playroom, a mechanical room and storage. A stone-clad plinth wraps this level.

An outdoor stair leads up to the living level. The living and dining room, about 40 m² (431 ft²), steps out onto a terrace that wraps around the house behind a glass balustrade, under the deep overhang of the roof. The kitchen with its pantry and a study sit close by. Three bedrooms, a main bathroom and a guest WC complete the floor, so every room you use daily is on one level.

Timber-look cladding and warm render sit above the stone. If you would rather have the bedrooms on a full upper floor, Linea uses the same design language over two stories.

Questions about Vela

Is Vela a one-story house?

Daily living happens on one level: living and dining, kitchen, study, three bedrooms, a main bathroom and a guest WC. Below it, a walk-out lower level holds the two-car garage, a multipurpose room, a mechanical room and storage.

What kind of lot does Vela suit?

Vela is designed for a sloping lot, with the lower level partly below grade and the garage opening at driveway level. The design gives no lot dimensions, so your local professional confirms how the levels meet your ground.

Can I see Vela's floor plans before I buy?

Vela's floor plans are not published on this page. The room schedule lists the main rooms with their approximate areas. Ask about this design and we'll tell you which drawings the set holds. The exact sheet list for this design is confirmed in writing with your quote, before you pay.

How is Vela different from Linea?

Both share flat roofs, timber-look cladding and a design area of 200 m² (2,153 ft²). Vela keeps daily living on one level above a walk-out garage level, while Linea places its bedrooms on a full upper floor.

How is Vela heated?

Vela is designed with a heat pump and zoned underfloor heating. Your local professional chooses and sizes the system for your climate and your local energy rules.

Will the drawings need adapting where I build?

Yes. The drawings are metric and follow Serbian practice, so a professional licensed where you build adapts the lower-level walls, drainage, roof and structure to local codes and climate.

Can Vela be changed or mirrored?

Yes. The Studio Set includes one round of non-structural changes before handover, up to 12 hours, such as reshaping the multipurpose room, and a mirrored set on request, which helps when your slope falls the other way. Larger changes get a fixed quote within 3 business days, before any work starts.
