The design of the Cabin for summer emerged during the first wave of lockdown — envisioned as a personal retreat as well as a potential space for short-term rentals.

Located in South Bohemia beneath the village church, the plot offers a peaceful setting with views of a nearby pond and meadows. The single-storey structure was conceived as self-sufficient and environmentally low-impact, with careful orientation to the cardinal points to support a natural daily rhythm. An outdoor platform serves both as a terrace and as the main entry into the house. Inside, a built-in loft bed and a flexible 21 m² room allow for multifunctional use, comfortably accommodating up to four people — from a home office or private cinema to cozy evenings by the stove. Inspired by the form of a beehive or a hunting blind, the timber cabin blends respectfully into the landscape and is intentionally designed not to set a precedent for future development in the area.
