#RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE PROJECTS
Toth project architecture office builds a larch holiday cottage
Located along the shore of a lake in kapuvár, hungary, the holiday cottage designed by local studio toth project architecture office provides an idyllic getaway house
Made entirely of larch wood, the home is formed within a rectangular shell that opens to the lake and to the road on the opposite side. within this shell exist two zones, an enclosed area containing the private rooms and living/kitchen area and an open area containing an outdoor patio/dining area as well as a wall made of firewood. on the exterior of the glass wall that encloses half the space, mechanized canvas blinds roll down to control heat gain inside. when lowered the blinds create a different atmosphere in the home, both in the enclosed area and the open air patio to provide privacy as well as a cooler environment. a subtle wooden stairway embedded within the sloping topography leads down to the small dock cantilevering out over the water.
