Following this tradition determined the design of small compact stony house corresponding to the
needs of the young family and current technological principles. Redefinition of traditional stony Karst
house led to the concept of proto-house as compact, stony, pitched roof volume for contemporary
countryside living in this region. The house is conceived as monolithic volume with two inserted
wooden volumes connected with interim landing.
Ground floor operates mostly as public or semi-public space with multiple grand landscape views as

interpretation with intense technological ingenuity. Materially inseparable connection between the
facade and the roof is key allusion to the image of traditional Karst village.
The design of the house addresses the relationship between contemporary and tradition, it opens up
the question about the characteristics of anonymous traditional built architecture from which it
originates and simultaneously establishes the relationship between contemporary interpretation and
