The renovation of a cottage in the Vysočina region focused on the interior transformation of the attic. The house’s secluded location at the edge of a forest became a key value for the investor as a retreat from the bustling city.

The client requested an intimate, relaxing space—one that would serve as a retreat from the bustling city, defined by a dark and cozy atmosphere. We divided the attic into two main zones: a private area with a bedroom, walk-in closet, and bathroom clad in dark-toned plaster, granite, and wood; and a guest area with hotel-style rooms in contrast, finished in light hues. A central social space with a bar, lounge seating, and a small workspace connects both parts. New shutters were added to the façade to regulate privacy, enhance the sense of security inside, and allow for a connection to the surrounding nature.
