In the shadow of the Brdy hills, a dense fog veils the landscape in mystery. The morning rays of the sun, piercing through it on their way to a new day, gradually unveil the contours of spruce trees. And where there once stood a carpentry workshop and an old school, now emerges the silhouette of a new house.

Bydlení Vysoká Pec
An old, forgotten barn, quietly hidden behind a row of townhouses yet only a short distance from the square, nestled in a courtyard between tall trees and weathered brick walls. We are preserving the original stone ruins, into which we have designed a new family home.
