Project Konírna is a project of three apartment houses in Hrabětice in Jizerské hory. The project is finding a connection between modern architecture and classic principles of Czech mountain architecture.
The mutual position of the three houses is very specific - they are arranged so that enough light falls on each of them, so that they don’t shade each other. When designing all three buildings, we carefully monitored the daily movement of the sun to achieve the optimal connection between nature and the emotions of future residents. In the evening, the artificial light evokes a soothing atmosphere of privacy.
All the interiors are tailored to the clients. With respect to all the clients, who had their specific idea of the space they want to live in, we designed unique interiors. All of them are connected through the main principle: materials, which correspond to the specific location in the mountains.

The facilities respond to the regional characteristics of the mountain landscape and architecture. The buildings are clad in a stone base and finished with an airy wooden facade. All materials are local and in this way respond to the space in which they are placed. All external surfaces are also paved with local materials, and road surfaces are finished with sand instead of asphalt - which allows water permeability.
The three buildings are carefully placed in the landscape. They are integrated into the slope so that the first floor is dug into the ground and open to the south. As a result, the buildings visually look smaller than they really are - a reflection of the volume of a traditional residential house. Their posing is also thoughtful in terms of orientation - each object is positioned to block the views of neighbors. As a result, each apartment is provided with intimacy and spacious views of nature.
