The reconstruction of a house that no one wanted to save. Thanks to minimal interventions in the original layout, cost savings on construction modifications were achieved. The key motto was to not demolish or throw anything away. We made an effort to preserve what could be preserved and also didn't shy away from admitting and not concealing many things. We used brick floor tiles from the attic for outdoor paving. We carefully removed the cladding to put it back in place. We preserved as much as possible from the original roof trusses, including some windows and doors. The functional original tiled stove remained on the ground floor of the house. New large windows into the garden invite plenty of natural light into the space and give the house an entirely new expression. We added a terrace to them, which directly encourages sitting and significantly enlarges the living space towards the outside. For the facade and new concrete pavers used for boundary delineation, we chose a purely white color. Similarly, the new metal roof, including gutters and downspouts, is unusually white. Thanks to the roof color, there is no need to air-condition the attic. The color unifies differently aged materials, harmonizes the old with the new, and makes the house literally shine among the surrounding buildings.

The reconstructed house also includes a garden Tiny House. Originally an agricultural building transformed into modern minimalist living, it serves as a separate space for accommodating visitors or short-term rentals. It is clad in weathered spruce wood, and its nearly black color emphasizes the contrast between the garden cottage and the white house.

The structure of the family house is one-level, with a basement and a habitable attic, of a simple rectangular shape in terms of floor plan. It is roofed with gable roofs. It is a brick building.
