Overview

Conversion and modernisation of an old gamekeeper's house with a barn to then serve as two family houses.

Gamekeeper's house and the nearby barn from the 17th century, standing in the area of the Orlické hory Protected Landscape Area, is undergoing a thorough renovation for the purpose of recreational housing for two families.

The principles of circular economy have been applied from the beginning of the design. Due to the need to dismantle the barn and part of the main house, we decided to sort the dismantled materials thoroughly and recycle as much of them as possible back in the construction. The stonework of the barn will be cleaned and reused as cladding for the exterior walls. The beams and rafters will be cut and used as interior cladding.

Another unique solution is the environmentally friendly technologies that both buildings will use, which will make the project water and energy efficient.
