A home with respect for nature and the history
Atelier 111
The reconstructed house is a perfect example of the fact that for new housing it is not necessary to cut away from the landscape, but it is enough to breathe new life into old buildings.
The architects transformed two separate 19th century buildings connected by a garden into a cosy, modern, poetically real place to live. "We were happy for every historical detail, for every original stone wall we could uncover. In fact, the whole reconstruction was about discovering the old, the original and combining it with the new," agree architects Barbora and Jiří Weinzettl.
There is a large enough living space with an adjoining outdoor terrace, an attic with children's rooms and a playroom, a bedroom with its own bathroom nook, a garden with fruit trees, two garage spaces and a large workshop. Varied home. And all in a relatively small space. Meanwhile, the views from the interior into the private adjoining yards enrich the overall perception of the space.
The entire interior is decorated in bright colours. The small elements in black, including door and window handles, act as a contrast. "We wished to equip all doors and windows with handles in black, and this was made possible by the range of the Czech manufacturer M&T, with whose handles we have had a long positive experience from our projects. We chose the LUSY model, which attracted us with its simple, simple shape and round rosette, which was one of our requirements for the door hardware," the architects explain.
The deep black shade is given to the door and window handles by a special durable titanium black matt finish. "The titanium finish retains its original appearance unchanged even after many years of use. It is also highly resistant to abrasion and scratches," says Roman Ulich, chief designer at M&T, explaining, "It is applied to the fittings using a special technology - it is not a spray or paint, but a real hard, thin layer of metal that adheres perfectly to the base material.
The two buildings, which are connected by a garden with fruit trees, together make a harmonious basis for a happy home.
