The family double house sits in the protected landscape area of Český ráj, which is matched by its form based on the principles of local folk architecture.

The house respects the traditions and continuity of the architecture of the protected landscape area.

In addition to the saddle roof and the division of the structure into a stone and wooden part, that is to say, originally economic and residential spaces, the design was also inspired by the gated barns referred to by the double-glazed communal parts of the layout.

The southwestern sun filters through generous openings to the interior, while on the other side there is a view of the Giant Mountains.

The terraces are adjacent to the longitudinal sides of the building, partly covered by significant roof overlaps.

Half the house is subbasement, most of the basement is a relaxation space with sauna.

In the middle part of the house there are kitchens, bathrooms and a common staircase, while the rest of the ground floor as well as the partly open attic are living rooms.

In addition to the facade, wood also dominates the interior, adding white walls and colorful built-in furniture.
