In the southern part of this town on the edge of the Křivoklát woods, there is a residential district originally home to weekend cottages. One such cottage on a flat plot of land was replaced by a passive home.

A house that opens up to the sun

The building opens up to the sun’s rays like a fan. In addition to the building’s pragmatic shape and passive shading, comfort on summer days is also aided by blinds built into the triple-glazed windows. 

Thanks to quality workmanship and the use of modern technologies, their effectiveness is comparable to outdoor blinds.

The floor plan closely resembles a quarter-circle with walls made of exposed concrete blocks.

The building opens up to the southwest into a fully grown garden.

The house is built primarily from a renewable material – wood.

The building’s construction respects its shape and reveals the constructional principles literally to the last detail, including steel joints and tie rods that add a finishing touch to the interior and exterior.

The built-in furniture has been placed between the beams in such a manner that the rooms resemble ship’s cabins.
