From the Architects: “From the front, the cabin is inconspicuous, one of the last ones before you arrive at Jizerka. But the other side of the building reveals something extraordinary. Behind the curtain of the original cabin, a glittering glass extension has sprung up and the house is ripe for the next act of its play.
“The cabin has stood here in a meadow in the Jizera Mountains for more than a hundred years. The world around it has changed since it was built from the timber and granite of the surrounding forests. Two world wars have swept through Europe, and the Czech Republic went through the dark period of communism and the frenzied post-revolution years. Now, the world has become faster and more connected, but some things remain the same.
