Mountain Lodge by ADR

Czech studio ADR designed a small black mountain lodge in Czech Krkonoše Mountains. The wooden structure is approximately 5.3 x 5.6 meters with adjacent steel terrace. Inside is a small hallway, living room with kitchen facilities, bathroom and sleeping area in the upper level. This project is nominated for the Czech Architecture Award 2018. Take a look at the complete story after the jump.

From the architects: ?erná Voda, a small mountain lodge, is situated next to the “old” ski run near the Pomezní Boudy border checkpoint in the Krkonoše mountains.
The original lower ski-lift station was replaced with a new wooden structure on the confluence of Kolben and ?erná Voda streams, the latter of which the chalet is named after. The owner’s wish was to have a small structure to serve as a lodge for short-term guests of the owner of the nearby Tereza mountain chalet.

The mountain lodge is a wooden structure of approximately 5.3 x 5.6 m, with an adjacent steel structure terrace of approximately 5.3 x 2.5 m. The lodge has a hallway, living room with kitchen facilities, bathroom and a toilet. The sleeping space spans the upper level of a part of the living room and the vestibule, and is accessible via a staircase from the living room. The living room has an open ceiling with exposed rafters; the sleeping space is under protective netting.

The mountain lodge is wedged into a steep north-east facing slope of Pomezní h?eben, right next to a stream. The foundations are concrete piers, and the above-ground structure is made of wood. The roof and the side façade is blackened aluminium sheet metal, while the gable walls are clad with blackened wood. The mountain lodge stands alone on a mountain meadow, away from the village of Horní Malá Úpa; it is surrounded by grown trees and shrubs which line the Kolben stream. The large corner window affords a beautiful view of the Malá Úpa river and the surrounding landscape, under the dominant Sn?žka peak, the highest mountain in the Czech Republic.
