Preserving treasures

Preserving treasures

2015, Csapod

In the initial phase of the project we managed to come to an agreement with the constructive young couple that the existing features of the property (a chestnut tree, the former bakery building) were treasures to consider in the course of planning. This resulted in an elegant and liberal house, which in its scale could remain true to the village of Csapod and the dimensions of its environment. The three-fold structure of the house reflects three functions. The common areas (living room, kitchen, dining room and terrace) are grouped around the chestnut tree, while the existing building at the front protects the private rooms from the noise of the neighbouring bar and the ancillary rooms are placed at the back.
