Vila A is built near the forest above village Kostoľany. At the beginning it seemed as if such land can never inhabited – the hill oriented to the north with 5 meter elevation from the road, the south shadowed by neighboring house…

The concept is based on some kind of a shell protecting the body from the outside. It is oriented to the east with a view on the village and the church. The surface is made of tin while the interior is wooden.
