Family House Petrov

Evolutionary transformation of a place with a distinct character, a small house in a garden on the edge – a joyful task. At the same time, an increasingly common theme is the adaptation of originally recreational space to current and future permanent housing.
The builders did not have a more intimate connection to the original cottage, with its details and layers. The stories that took place here have been forgotten. Therefore, we tried (we liked the cottage) to achieve some sort of sub-surface continuity. The floor plan of the original structure serves as the beginning and proportion of the floor plan of the new house. We also reinterpret some original details and construction principles.
Gradual construction has borne fruit in differentiation – what is substantial is complete, and what is unfinished is insignificant.
Stylistic unity and formal perfection do not carry the quality of life. God is elsewhere than in the detail.
The richness flowing from little, the simplicity of life, and the energy of the builders are encouraging and inspiring.
