Milada Cottage in the Krkonoše Mountains mixes urban flair with rustic charm
Situated on a hillside in the Krkonoše Mountains, Milada Chalet is a newly built cottage with a contemporary form that follows the scattered development of surrounding cottages. Designed by Prague-based architectural studio ADR, the residence is part of the small Czech village of Malá Úpa, a picturesque ski resort. Milada’s shape is inspired by the region’s traditional mountain cottages (and named after the owner’s mother and grandmother); it has a rectangular floor plan set horizontally into the slope. Visually, the cottage mixes urban flair and rustic charm, its lower cubic volume complemented by a gable roof with upper floors.
