<em>Family house Maxičky</em>

The original house, although full of magic, was so firmly defined by its layout, construction, and materials that we could not meaningfully "translate" it with a standard reconstruction for our purpose.
Therefore, we designed a new house, following the convincing historical arrangement of the linden-tree-house-barn in terms of position and scale.
In contrast to the beautiful yet still damp massive sandstone walls and the small rooms between them, the construction with contemporary materials allowed us to create relatively generous and, as needed, open spaces with volumes and proportions similar to the original house.

The wooden, absorbingly monochromatic skin of the house, akin to the barn's shell, serves as a calm backdrop to the variably colored events taking place around it.
The builder is a collector, and the artifacts accumulate. New layers remarkably quickly interweave and overlap with the old.
The joints are seamless.
There are many borrowed original motifs and also a few shifts and updates.
The roofing of the space between the barn and the house established their new, closer relationship. The resulting porch offered a relocation of the main entrance from the side facade to the gable. The southeast facade with the original entrance was freed up for a closer connection between the interior and the exterior.

The house – although new, is undoubtedly a reconstruction.
Conscious continuity is the foundation of the design.
