This kitchen and breakfast room was inspired by the owners' Scandinavian heritage, as well as by a café they love in Europe. Bookshelves in the kitchen and breakfast room make for easy lingering over a snack and a book. The Heath Ceramics tile backsplash also subtly celebrates the author owner and her love of literature: the tile pattern echoes the spines of books on a bookshelf...All photos by Laurie Black.

ARCHITECTURE: Certificate of Merit
 PROJECT: A House for a Writer in Bohemia CLIENT: Private Owner, Czech Republic 
ARCHITECTURE FIRM: Front Studio Architects CONTRACTOR: Zikmund Hriste 
ENGINEERS: Inveko, Vitatech, Carvan Elektromontaze 
PHOTOGRAPHER: Jana Rackova DESCRIPTION: Located 30 miles north of Prague, Czech Republic, the House was to be a retreat, a private yet open space, full of light. The energy efficient 1200 sf residence is modern yet contextual, blending with the abandoned single-story structure for housing pigs and chickens on which it is built. JURY COMMENTS: This looks like a fun place to live and it is also laudable that it is a passive house. It is an honest, yet modest, project with an appropriate level of craft and detail.
