	The paper discusses the issues tied with recreation in the architectural spaces of single-family detached houses located within the landscape outside of cities. Recreation plays a very important role in the space of a single-family detached house, as it is tied with the everyday life of a family. The paper presents thirteen award-winning architectural and urban designs developed by second year students during the 2015/2016 academic year, developed at the Chair of the Housing Environment of the Faculty of Architecture of the Cracow University of Technology. According to the author’s opinion, they illustrate the yearning for a life in a natural environment, surrounded by meadows, forests, lakes, mountains and seas, in isolation, peace and quiet. The efforts and dreams of inhabitants who want to be surrounded by nature every day have been reflected in the design and construction of residential areas in a housing environment that is strictly and mutually tied with the natural environment.
