The investor's task was to adapt the existing village cottage from the first half of the 20th century for full functional use as a residence. The family house has a ground floor with a habitable attic and partial basement. The basic idea was to return the existing building to its original form with a new entrance extension in a contemporary expression. The extension houses the entrance vestibule and newly constructed sanitary facilities. The new part is materially distinct - wooden slatted cladding in contrast to the white plaster of the existing house. The house also includes its entrance area with a new driveway made of stone segments, a fence made of gabions, and a new outdoor staircase made of oak sleepers.
The brick walls of the house were undercut during the renovation and new waterproofing was applied; the walls were fitted with a contact thermal insulation system. The roof structure in the attic was completely replaced, including the ceramic roof covering.
Replicas of wooden reveal windows are used on the first floor and partially in the attic. New openings in the house are filled with an aluminum system with triple glazing. The floors are made of layered oak parquet on beams. The same material was chosen for doors, wall and ceiling cladding, and furniture.
