Cuckoo - bus stop

Hluboká is a small village with a very interesting morphological value, especially for its gradual urbanization of the landscape with a very sensitive but purpose-built planting of buildings in the wrinkled part of the Vysočina. Thanks to the non-centred character of the village during the second half of the 20th century, the village had been preserved without significant poor entrances of construction projects in the form of bringing the village closer to the town and other "valid" that time mottos. And it is here, on the main “square”, there is an existing poor quality object of the stop, in raffish condition. The zoning study of the site established the main principles of further development of the site, so we have a defined position for the new building - well, we are getting started! Due to the existing composition of houses that adjoin to the square (houses with saddle roofs and classic residential shapes and proportions), we consider this attribute to be a design key. We propose an object with a saddle roof, but it has a disproportionally small length of the tract, so its volume can evoke the clock-watcher "cuckoo", known from our grandmothers. In order to grasp this object sensitively even on the material side, we choose local spruce wood as the main construction material: beams, laths, planks, shingles. We then implement the paved surfaces in a folded granite cube. Everything should be useful, durable and in line with a small budget. The building is equipped with a sit-down bench, a book shelf, a basket and a linden leaf for happiness. As part of the design process, we emphasized safety in and around the building, durability and good sustainability. Let this stop form a small, nice landmark of a modest village in the Vysočina region.
