Domki w lesie

My name is Michał, I live in the city every day, but as soon as I have a moment, I return to the land of lakes. The decision to build a cottage was spontaneous. While visiting my childhood friends, I went looking for a land where I could put it. Just like that, I was dreaming. I found the plot quickly and I built not one, but two houses just as quickly. The idea was simple - one house will be a living area, the other a bedroom area, and all will be connected by a large terrace. We did almost 60% of the work ourselves, with the support of my father and friends. I put a lot of effort into searching for local materials to keep the proportion of new wood to a minimum. I tried to make what I could with the reclaimed planks that my father had accumulated over the years of work. We made wooden furniture together with my father or ordered from local carpenters. Others, found in nearby warehouses, have gained a new life. We constructed a chimney of field stone ourselves, covered the facade with wood and patinated it gray so that it would become part of the landscape as soon as possible. Selection key? Natural material, simple form and preferably handcrafted origin. Instead of a magnificent estate by the lake, we have built two wooden houses, the location of which is unique. Gray, as if it had been raining for years, with a characteristic chimney made of field stone, they seem to be a natural part of the landscape. Now I decided to share what we have the most beautiful here. Please, Michał.
