Text description provided by the architects. Katka and Honza are cooking all the time. So they decided to burn their new house as well. But not from ground to top. Just only all around. Their boys are wondering around with hands full of coal looking forward for winter and making snowman. Hopefully there are some coal buttons left for snowman coat. Katka is harvesting carrots for his nose. Just tomcat with dog are sharing doghouse together. Spending long evenings trying to wake up memories for lovely and warmy flat in Prague.

The family who lives there  expand shortly after the completion from  four to five. However, the master of the six men (including dog and cat) is a single woman. The surrounding garden and cultivating vegetables behind the house are her domain, then the boys belong to driveway and garage. The latest addition to the family made  the children's room in future counting with split into two halves remains rather long period common. This will approach the construction zone sleeping in the open truss.
