- FEATURED ARCHITECTURE PROJECT -
HOUSE Pri Stodole
This family home renovation makes a sensitive intervention in the existing architecture, with attention to proportions, material quality and indoor-outdoor connections. The key challenge was integrating a terrace with a glazed corner that opens the living space towards the garden. The terrace becomes a natural extension of the living zone, creating a continuous space usable for much of the year. Natural surfaces are combined with contemporary elements. The design responds to current living needs while respecting the home’s original volume and its relationship with the surroundings.

CONTEMPORARY LIVING COMFORT
Adapting to modern needs without losing the original identity.
Materials are chosen for their natural character, durability and simplicity.
An existing place. A new life.
The design builds sensitively on the atmosphere of the rural house beside the barn. Respect for the existing scale, natural materials and considered alterations brings new comfort without losing its original character.
