It was located in Pernink, Czech Republic. The Architect was Pavel Nasadil / FAM Architekti. The Co-operation was Marek Nábělek, Hana Svobodova, Tomas Straka. The Client was private.

The project was 2006. It was built in 2008–2010.
A house was developed in the village of Pernink in the Krusne Mountains in west Bohemia, Czech Republic. The modern house was situated 820 metres above sea level near the German border in a valley which was bordered by a wild water stream.
The client determined a free brief right at the start of the design which evolved over a long period. The house design described a hybrid typology of a small residential retreat and a guest house with facilities for local skiing and nature hiking. Topography and the orientation towards views of landscape and towards sunlight defined the form and scale of the house. The prevailing western winds were handled with a narrow gable end to minimize their impact. A small budget and harsh local climate had established a simple method of construction which built in two short building seasons. The external walls consisted of 500mm thick super insulated prefabricated clay blocks, which were also applied for the main load bearing wall. The journey from entrance lobby to the upper living space supported a sense of a cave like protection against climate. The floor to ceiling height contrasted in hierarchy with the staircase zone being of minimal height and the living space being increased to 3m. The materials used was a high constructional standard and were abandoned in their natural appearance without further treatment, such as hand applied stucco renderings, massive wood, exposed concrete ceilings and floors and aluminum windows. The heating was developed within the floors. It was powered by gas, with additional option of wood burning stove in the living space. The final costs was added to a complete sum of 100.000 EUR inclusive of the plot and internal fittings and furniture.
This white rectangular box with an array of windows on three sides became a family shelter located in the mountains in Pernink, Czech Republic. Czech studio FAM Architekten designed the box house. The windows on the Mountain House had varying of sizes and positioned. So, the best views of the surroundings and optimum sunlight inside were achieved. Due to the location of the house and the harsh weather conditions, the external walls consisted of thick insulated clay blocks. Inside the house, the materials had been left untreated. It contained the exposed concrete floors and ceilings and hand-applied stucco rendering on the walls.
