Passive house with a stunning view of the dominant feature of the Bohemian Paradise Trosky.
On the land was originally located a building, of which only the cellar has been preserved. It was interesting that within such a huge plot of land, the house could only be built on one place - on the area of the original house that was once located there.

The foundation of the house was based on energy optimization on a floating board insulated on the bottom face with extruded polystyrene. The house consists of 2 simple, almost archetypal masses. A main single-storey building with a usable attic and a compact auxiliary building containing a garage, storage rooms, a covered parking space and a workshop. The main living space is maximally connected to the garden by a generous south-west living terrace with a larch pergola and large sliding windows. The original mature lime trees have been respected in the design.

The interior is clean, minimalist with wood elements. Colour is brought into the interior by the soft tones of the wall paint and the bolder colours of the accessories. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, a living room with dining room, a study of the lady of the house and a bathroom with sauna with direct access to the garden. The kitchen stands out with its open shelving, as the owner uses the concept of a no-frills kitchen. In the attic there is a large hall, which is designed both as a social space and a space for sports activities and relaxation. In addition, there is a bedroom, a study and a bathroom.
A distinctive feature of the house are the blue windows. Blue is a very popular colour for the owners.
The exterior uses a whole range of natural materials - larch facade, clay path or wall made of local sandstone.

The house is equipped with an intelligent system that allows control via a mobile app. It controls everything from pulling down the blinds, to heating, lighting, and refilling the water in the garden pond. The heat and ventilation is handled by electric heating mats (underfloor heating + bathroom tubes with electric cartridge).
The house is surrounded by a large plot with a swimming pond, permaculture garden and orchard.
