Otium is a Latin word meaning free time or vacation. A house which has been given such a name must be a blessed place where you can relax and charge new energies after a day of work. The house designed by the architect Sebastian Nagy is being blessed by its own occupier – a catholic priest. Drážovce is a small village close to Nitra. It is a quiet and green place where the treetops breathe a majestic atmosphere. We are now entering the parish garden dominated by the Roman Catholic church of Francis Xavier. From the green at the back of the garden emerges a stone wall – a monument. It is a house called Otio which at first sight looks modest and reserved.
