Upcycling of a Modernist house in Gracia. Upcycling is a sustainable trend in the fashion world that consists of giving new life to what already exists by improving and taking advantage of all the parts that make up the element in question. In architecture, this concept is based not only on reusing to improve the functionality of the object but also on transforming to enhance new spatial and aesthetic attributes.

Wooden Cabin in the Jizera Mountains / Markéta Cajthamlová

The newly built cabin on a sloping plot in the Jizera Mountains has the form of a traditional cottage. It is located on the very edge of the mountain village. Behind it are only meadows and forests, ideal for recreation in summer and winter. The elongated gable-roofed mass has a small gable-roofed outbuilding that serves as a vestibule and storage. The surrounding landscape is dynamic and changeable and the cottage respects its character. Natural materials typical of this region were used for the construction: wood, stone, and glass. Glass is a world-renowned product of this region.

As a consequence, in order to be able to sell the largest number of plots, the resulting lots are very small compared to the buildability allowed by the regulations.
