The Landscape around the small village Železná in the Český Les mountains is gorgeous. The client with his friends owns there a preserve with hunderts of wild animals. His passion is hunting. Already out of the contact with the houses in the village the site is facing down to the southeast. The single-generation house has extraordinary view over the majestic scenery of meadows, woods, lake and mountains. Primarily this scenery forms the basic form of the house – sector of a ring/annulus. It´s always the advantage for the house when the best views from the house are looking to the south. Than you can open up the house with the wide glass frontage, however it´s necessary to shadow it in the same time. On the north, there are two stone walls. The first one is retaining wall and the second one is a part of the house. The retaining pillars are shaping little gardens where the small windows from the interior of the house are looking to. In the each of the gardens, there will be a tree and the stone wall will be covered up with the green vegetation. The house fulfil this way one of the zen-principles – living between the „small world“ – north garden – and the „big world“ – long views to the south over the preserve towards the woods and mountains fringing the horizont.
