This compact vacation home is designed by architects Petr Uhlik, Jan Sorm and Premysl Jurak of Uhlik Architekti studio. The leaning residence boasts an angular and asymmetrical design and rests atop a standing rock, that serves as its structural support. The home leans on a large boulder and features a wood-constructed façade and interior.
While contemporary in its design aesthetic, this camping retreat is more understated within its interior than it is when viewed from the outside. Measuring 10’ by 20’ in size, this compact vacation home connects its inhabitants with the natural world.
The residence is located just outside of Prague’s busy metropolis and is meant to be an escape from the buzz of urban life and its daily stresses.
