Cottage Smolenice

The architectural design of the recreational cottage reflects the investor's intentions and does not significantly alter the character and appearance of the original structure. Instead, it remains largely preserved. The main requirements of the investor were the optimization of the interior layout, the incorporation of the existing attic into the layout by adding a staircase as a vertical connection between the floors, the insulation of the external and roof cladding, and the adjustment of the objects associated with the cottage and their immediate surroundings.

The building is located in the village of Smolenice in the Trnava region. The main entrance and access to the property are from the northern side of the plot via the local access road. Part of the terrain in front of the southern facade, in a short section in contact with the cottage, will be slightly elevated due to the leveling of the interior floors, optimizing the height difference between the terrain and the interior floor.

The existing rectangular building comprises one above-ground floor and an currently unused attic, along with associated storage buildings and an outdoor toilet, with total maximum dimensions of 14.43x9.16 meters. In the area of the existing garage and outdoor toilet, a utility storage building will be constructed. A wooden terrace with light roofing will be added. The existing roof structure will be retained and insulated. Dormers will be added to the southeastern and northwestern sides of the roof, along with skylights. In the center of the layout, a light straight wooden staircase will be installed for access to the attic.
