" There are beautiful tall conifers in the surroundings which fascinated us and whose pattern is reflected in the facade ."
Belonging to nature is supported by the glass sliding surfaces that connect the living area of the interior with the surroundings and also wonderfully expand the feeling of space inside the cottage . The large windows not only bring a beautiful view , but also plenty of light for the investor , who enjoys painting in her cottage .
The brief was to create a space that exudes the cosiness and warmth of home . Therefore , oak was used extensively in the interior , specifically for the flooring , fireplace wall , dining table and chairs . The structural CLT spruce panels remained visible in the bedroom and staircase . This natural material brings a warm feeling of home to the interior and saves on tiling costs . CLT panels also have advantages in structural properties - the small structural depth allows for large spans and has a high load-bearing capacity . Their small thickness combined with good thermal insulation leads to a more spacious interior . The construction was completely designed and realized by 3AE , a company specialized in wooden buildings made of solid panels of Czech wood .
