Layout and orientation.
Working with orientation, sectors and the relationship between rooms and the building's energetic map. More of a planning tool than a decorative layer.
Positioning the house in relation to sun, wind, entry, orientation and the deeper character of the place before the design begins.
First we read the land →Translating rooms and circulation into an energetic map of the house. Often a meaningful shift starts with the function, axis or hierarchy of the rooms.
Then we reorganize the layout →The spiritual aspect of architecture translated into practical work: proportion, rhythm, form, sacred geometry and a healthier relationship between person and space.
Then form becomes precise →
Every building has its own energetic map. In practice this means that the arrangement of functions, entrances, movement lines and focal points can either support or weaken everyday life. The consultation starts with concrete information: the plan, orientation, light, proportions and the relationships between rooms.
In new houses this layer can be integrated directly into the design. In existing buildings we often work through correction: reassigning functions to sectors, shifting emphasis, clarifying the zoning and improving how the space is composed.
Its role is to support health, concentration, relationships and the economics of everyday life, not to create an exotic mood for its own sake.

The spiritual aspect of architecture understood through rhythm, order, landscape relation and the geometric tensions embedded in the form of the house.
What was often described in the Netherlands as organic or spiritual architecture is translated here into a clear design language: fractal geometry, proportion and harmony.
This part of Barbara Wojtkowska's work grows out of long-term contact with Dutch environments of organic and bio-logical architecture. In practice it means designing a house not only as structure and technology, but also as a tool for healthy living: physically, mentally and economically.
That is why this page is not a side note to dome houses. It is the same philosophy seen from the perspective of site reading, proportion and conscious ordering of space.
