House in Pikovice
|
Two years ago, a good friend of ours and his wife decided to buy a plot of land sloping northward close to the river Sazava. The natural environment of the village of Pikovice near the town of Davle offers, first and foremost, a tranquil home to be enjoyed every day – and yet it lies within an easy driving distance of the Prague ring road. The newlyweds’ worldview and their determination to build something new led to a decision to design a wooden house that would be neither big nor small and would meet the requirements of healthy living while economizing energy consumption. The house is a cuboid with a flat green roof and two outside entrances. An outside staircase leading from the ground level to the second above-ground story bites off a wedge from the upper part of the cuboid. |
The rest of the cuboid and its plumage of larch planks are the basic tools shaping the appearance of the house. The interior layout conceals a habitable hallway with a large aquarium, a kitchen and amenities; upstairs there is a small study and bedrooms for parents and children. At present, our office is gradually drafting detailed documentation for every part of the interiors. We believe we will soon be able to put out new pictures for you to enjoy. location: Pikovice, Czech republic
