Clients owned a house in a small village with a view of Říp hill and a large apple orchard, where they spent weekends. They grew fond of the place and decided to renovate the house and live there permanently. The task was to redesign the house in a way that would meet the technological and aesthetical requirements of present day and at the same time preserve the rural character of the house and it`s original appeal.

In the course of demolition works increasing number of proofs that the house was in poor condition were being discovered. The extent of the intended renovation works grew constantly until finally with a slight exaggeration only the original red water pump was left.
In the end the house was basically built from the ground up. The shape and plan of the original building was kept and the vaults were reconstructed exactly in the way they were in the old house.
The house is white rendered like the original building and even the typical window casing is preserved. The newly built annexe, which contains the main entrance, is covered with marlite stone veneer. This type of stone used to be mined in the vicinity. The annexe and the dormers have a metal roof in anthracite shade. The exterior offers a balanced combination of modern and period elements, which is a principle applied also in the interior.
