Nestled amidst the breathtaking Krkonoše Mountains, Milada Cottage, a short-term rental designed by ADR architectural studio, offers a harmonious blend of classic mountain lodge aesthetics and contemporary design. Its striking rectangular form, topped with a dramatic gabled roof and clad in a sleek black exterior, stands out against the pristine snowy landscape. This striking design choice not only makes a bold statement but also seamlessly integrates the cottage into its natural surroundings.
Nestled on a hillside, the cottage provides direct access to a ski slope from its lower level, making it an ideal retreat for winter sports lovers. With its unique design and prime location, Milada Cottage promises an unforgettable experience in the heart of nature.
The ambiance inside is warm and inviting, featuring rich spruce wood finishes and minimalist furnishings that create a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. This refined retreat is crafted to envelop guests in the stunning beauty of the mountains, offering a peaceful sanctuary away from the chaos of daily life.
The cottage is situated on a beautiful plot on a hillside at the edge of an area called Nové domky (New Houses) in the Krkonoše Mountains, Czech Republic. Its harmonious integration into the landscape enhances the overall charm of the area, making it a perfect getaway.
The building’s layout is thoughtfully divided into two main units per floor. The lower level houses the entrance and essential facilities, along with a spacious living area that includes a kitchen and dining room.
Meanwhile, the upper floor is dedicated to restful bedrooms, complete with necessary sanitary amenities. The highest section of the roof features an additional sleeping area, accessible via separate staircases from the main bedrooms. In winter, guests can easily step out from the lower floor and glide directly onto the adjacent ski slope.
The building’s construction employs a traditional approach, featuring a robust brick wall structure topped with a wooden roof and a beamed ceiling. An outdoor extension provides a covered access point, crafted from exposed concrete, seamlessly blending functionality with modern aesthetics.
Inside, concrete elements are thoughtfully integrated into the design, highlighted by an internal concrete pillar that elegantly divides the living area from the dining room. This striking feature enhances the spatial flow while adding a contemporary touch to the overall ambiance.
The interior design is enriched with wooden cladding and furniture fashioned from lightly bleached spruce wood, complemented by sleek black armchairs and warm brown chairs. The kitchen boasts a polished stainless-steel finish, while the lower level showcases a wooden floor interspersed with areas of screed and cozy carpets. Upstairs, the sleeping quarters are predominantly carpeted, maintaining the theme of bleached spruce wood furniture that echoes the style found below.
