Lakeside Chalet, Lake Millstatt
The main idea was to place the Chalet on the highest point to let it float above everything else, tucked into a lush landscape.

All buildings were designed in a very puristic way,
Lakeside Chalet, Grossegg
All buildings were designed in a very puristic way, entirely in timber, from Exterior to Interior. As the main façade material for Chalet and Boat house we chose white, knotless, fir planks with rough-cut surface, varying in size and thickness.

Podhajská's art used folk figures to depict characters or activities. Innovating and
