Obydlo for senior lady

Our first completed realization of a turnkey house from the project, through the construction to the terrace and latrine.

Realization date

January - August 2021

Dimensions

External dimensions: 8.2 x 3.2 m, height at ridge 385 cm

Covered terrace: 8 x 3 m

Assignment

We created the home for a senior lady according to the client's needs. She wanted year-round living on her property, with a spacious terrace, sleeping on the ground floor, a full kitchen and bathroom, with a dry toilet outside the house. The limitation of the gable roof clearly emerged from the spatial plan.

Materials

During construction, we used natural materials wherever possible. We made an exception only for elements that are necessary for the perfect functioning of the house and do not have a suitable natural alternative.

hemp and wood fiber insulation
spruce and pine boards treated with natural oils
ash floor and kitchen worktop
clay plaster as a fireproof board behind the stove
wooden windows from a custom carpenter

Turnkey contract
