Garden treehouse, Prague 4
The client wished to build a simple guest house in the back garden. The requirement was for a low-cost wooden cottage with a balcony and a simple, yet cosy interior.
The house with a steel base is raised into a crown of the nearby elm tree. The timber structure is built in a two by four system with larch slats cladding. Large spruce desks are used to clad the interior. Kitchen and bathroom fittings, heating elements, lights and furniture are all in black. The cottage can be inhabited all year round.
Ground floor: The black furnishings were chosen as a contrast to the spruce cladding. The lower terrace next to the bathroom is used all year round for a yoga practice.
Top floors: The balcony leads to a open space living room (14,5 m²) with a kitchen, dining table and sofa bed. The upstairs (7,3 m²) sleeping deck is accessible via miller stairs.
To allow to see the TV hanged above the entrance portal also from the sleeping deck, the railing has a clever door which reveals the view downstairs. And last, but not least, there is also a neat built-in closet under the stairs.
