In the serene village of Necin, Czech Republic, Facha architekti has creatively transformed a modest family home through a bold red metal house extension. Originally rooted as a pigsty, the structure evolved over decades into a charming cabin and, eventually, a full-time residence. This latest addition elegantly embodies the building’s continual evolution as an extension.
The Distinctive Expansion
Easily distinguishable from its predecessors, the new extension by Facha architekti features a timber-framed design clad in vibrant red corrugated sheet metal. The striking facade provides a contemporary yet practical solution, with a ventilated exterior that harmonizes durability and cost-effectiveness. The architects built much of this project themselves with the clients, which thoughtfully integrates modern materials and historical charm.

Enhancing the Connection to Nature
The redesign extends the living space into the garden, highlighted by a large west-facing sliding window that opens onto a larch terrace. Timber seating steps enhance the connection to the outdoors, acting as both a transition and a casual seating area. A retractable awning offers shade when needed, enabling an adaptable outdoor experience.

Redefining the Entry Experience
Relocated to the new extension, the entrance now sets a welcoming tone. The entryway’s red metal frame seamlessly merges with the older structure. This shift allowed Facha architekti to optimize the interior layout, enlarging the bathroom and updating the kitchen, while pine plywood adds warmth to the palette. This transformation does not only redefine entryways but transforms the overall living experience.
