\"River,<\/div>\n

Burnt wood<\/a> and black metal<\/a> define this rural cabin<\/a> in the Czech Republic<\/a>, created by local studio Mimosa Architects to replace its scorched predecessor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrapped in blackened larch<\/a> boards, the 78-square-metre cottage<\/a> is located near Prose\u010dnice on the banks of the S\u00e1zava river, and sits on the site of another cabin that burned down.<\/p>\n

Mimosa Architects<\/a> drew from the surrounding nature and the site’s position between the river and rocky terrain, designing the cabin to blend in with its forested environment.<\/p>\n

“We believe that such a relationship is one of the prerequisites for the long-term protection of the landscape,” Mimosa Architects principal Petr Mor\u00e1\u010dek told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“The river literally flows within fishing rod reach,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“With this in mind, we wanted to draw a link between each natural aspect of land and the site’s original structure \u2013 rock, river and fire.”<\/p>\n

After the fire, the only remaining feature of the structure was the stone plinth it rested on. This was retained as the base for the new cabin, keeping it elevated from flooding and also giving it views over the river.<\/p>\n

The structure is entirely timber-based, primarily using natural and recycled materials.<\/p>\n
