Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] The newly built cottage on a sloping plot in the Jizera Mountains has the form of a traditional cottage. It is located on the very edge of the mountain town, behind it are only meadows and forests, ideal for recreation in summer and winter. The elongated gable-roofed mass has a small gable-roofed outbuilding that serves as a vestibule and storage. The surrounding landscape is dynamic and changeable, the cottage respects its character. Natural materials typical of this region were used for the construction: wood, stone and glass, which made it famous.
The layout of the house is divided into thirds. The living area with kitchen, dining room and fireplace is oriented to the west; the bedroom faces east and can sleep up to four people; the central part with the sauna and bathroom is roofed, and this creates an attic, onto which the staircase leads from the living room.
The facade of the house is made of dark blue clapboard cladding. Generous corner windows are 12 and 10 m long. Everything that is part of the windows is white: wooden window frames, sill, wooden blinds and shutters, as well as the lining of the fixed corner of the window. The exception is the skylight, the division of which follows the structural system of the roof. Its frames are the same color as the covering, which is made of dark gray asphalt strips.
The house, even with the parking area, is set into the slope in such a way that it requires only minimal landscaping. The retaining wall leveling the terrain to the north is made of local sand-colored stone. The plinth of the house is made of visible light concrete, as well as the low retaining walls passing into the borders of the parking area, which is made of granite perk and can accommodate up to 4 cars.
The project, delivered on a turnkey basis by the company 3AE, specializing in low-energy and passive houses, is designed as a wooden construction. Wood is used throughout the entire interior with a visible bio-board, and the interior dividing walls are also made of wood. The floor is designed from gray cement screed. The outdoor wooden terrace is made of larch planks, and the stone plateau is made of local chipped stone. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles.
