Log cabin originated as a house without technology, a detox from modern society.... a rest from synthetic materials and useless information. The building is constructed in the Orlicke mountains on the site of an old homestead, from which the original inhabitants were forcibly removed after WW2. The only thing remaining is the stone foundations and overgrown ash trees which surround the cottage. As we wanted to preserve the historical essence of the area, we proposed to once again build a traditionally styled cottage. It is a very simple building, with one aim in mind - to live together in the countryside.

It is a building constructed with the TWO-BY-FOUR principle. The foundation is made with micropiles, which created a crawl space under the house. The roof is sheet metal and a layer of reflective foils is partially used as thermal insulation of the roof. A 3 metre high glass, four-part folding door with a steel frame is used to connect the terrace and the interior. Larch cladding is used on the façade and interior.
