A family weekend house built on the footprint of an old barn, nestled in mature greenery on one of the oldest plots in Pavlovice. The sloping terrain offers long views over the village and towards the opposite hills of Kladruby.

The goal was to preserve the original barn and fragments of the outbuilding. However, after detailed assessments and structural evaluations, only the cellar could be retained. The new volume follows the footprint of the original, maintaining the typology of surrounding rural architecture. A slight narrowing of the building made space for a contemporary gesture—projecting chimney-like volumes that house vertical circulation and service functions. The ground floor is dominated by a generous living space oriented toward the garden, complemented by a small wellness area with garden access, a fitness room, and a master bedroom. Additional bedrooms and a study are located upstairs. Throughout the project, we reused as many original materials as possible—bricks, timber beams, stone—and paired them with new ones like concrete and corten steel. This material palette references the raw, simple beauty of the surrounding landscape.
