Milada Cottage, Czech Republic
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. It follows the scattered development of the surrounding cottages both urbanistically and visually. The shape of the building is simple, based on the classic form of a mountain cottage – a rectangular floor plan horizontally set into the slope. The volume of the building consists of a lower floor cube complemented by a gable roof with upper floors.
The cottage is designed as a short-term rental property. The layout is divided into two main units per floor. The lower floor, besides the entrance and necessary facilities, contains the main living area with a kitchen and dining room. The upper floor features bedrooms for rest and sleep with necessary sanitary facilities. The uppermost part of the roof accommodates a sleeping floor, each connected by a separate staircase from the main bedrooms. In winter, you can directly go to the adjacent ski slope from the lower floor.
For the construction of the building, a classic method was chosen – a brick wall structure with a wooden roof and a beamed ceiling. The outdoor extension with covered access is made of exposed concrete.
Concrete is partially incorporated into the interiors, where an internal concrete pillar separates the living area from the dining room. The interior is complemented by wooden cladding and furniture made of lightly bleached spruce wood, black armchairs, brown chairs, and a stainless-steel kitchen. The lower part has a wooden floor with localized use of screed and carpets. The sleeping floor is mostly carpeted. The furniture upstairs, like downstairs, is made of bleached spruce wood.

About studio / author
ADR is an architectural studio established by Aleš Lapka and Petr Kolář in 1996. The founders started cooperating in 1992, during their studies at UMPRUM – the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague.
Today, the studio focuses on both construction and reconstruction projects. They also work on interior design projects, closely cooperating with visual artists. The ADR studio designs projects both in Czechia and abroad.
In their more than twenty-five years of experience, the architects have crafted their own style, which articulates the creative work of more than forty members of their team. In recent years, their work has also been awarded multiple prestigious awards.
In 2014, the studio won the main prize in the interior category in the Grand Prix of Architects – this was with their project working on a network of Megapixel showrooms. In 2014, the studio’s project Private Island of Velaa, in the Maldives, received a prize from the International Hotel Awards, and in 2015, it was awarded by the Luxury Travel Guide Awards.
In 2017, the Javornická distillery – another project by the studio, was awarded by the citizen’s association Klub za Starou Prahu (the Club for Old Prague), whose objective is the preservation of historical buildings. In 2018, the ADR was victorious in a competition for the best national Olympic house in PyeongChang. In the same year, their Trautenberk Brewery project was awarded by the Nature Conservation Agency of the Czech Republic. It was hailed as an excellent example of a building reconstruction that respected the character of the landscape.
In the industrial design category, the studio won the Red Dot Award in 2003 and 2010. In 2019, the Czech Olympic Committee awarded the studio for their outstanding contribution to sport and the Olympic movement. Building of the Year 2022 was awarded to the architects for the new building of Hotel Stages. In 2023, the studio received the Mayor’s Prize of the Prague 9 district Opera Pragensia for the realization of the Elektra Primary School and Kindergarten as well as the Mayor’s Prize of the Prague 15 district Opera Pragensia for the realization of the Golf Gallery.
