Kohútka Cottage by SENAA architekti

The Kohútka Cottage is contemporary, modern living at its finest; originally designed for the owner of the mountain complex of Kohútka, it is inspired by traditional Wallachian architecture. Spectacular views of the Javorníky mountain range. Log construction with a saddle roof, located on a sloping terrain, blends into the surrounding landscape. The design employs traditional architectural elements, such as small casement windows, a pronounced roof overhang and pitch, while avoiding dormers and skylights.

The eastern side carries the traditional appearance of a Wallachian log cabin, complemented on the western side with large-format glazing that opens views through several valleys. The construction is situated in the southeast part of the lot. The house is accessed from the east, and the entrance is protected from wind and rain. The entryway leads directly to the living space. The living room has an open floor plan, supported with panoramic windows and an entry leading to the western terrace. The ground floor has an office, a bathroom, and a toilet. The quiet zone of the house is located in the attic. This section offers a bedroom with a walk-in closet and a balcony – boasting beautiful views – illuminated also by a gable window. The attic also includes a second room and a bathroom. The basement is accessed from the entryway. This area includes wellness, sauna, technical, and storage rooms. Because of the sloping terrain, the wellness area is naturally illuminated under the terrace.
