Inspired by the Bohemian Farmstead, this cluster of houses gather around a central, semi-private courtyard and are orientated to optimise views out to the spectacular Czech countryside. Each house is designed to provide a sense of containment to a private garden and is strategically placed on the site to maximise sunlight hours to the garden and interior spaces. The interiors are light and generous with double height spaces upon entry and in principle rooms, whilst generous storage and utility space ensures the houses are highly practical to accommodate modern family life. A natural and robust palette of materials is proposed, with stone walls and oak cladding externally, whilst polished plaster and bespoke oak joinery are used internally to a warm contemporary feel.
