Casa De Mi Luna / Studio Circle Growth

Casa De Mi Luna is in Karlštejn, Czech Republic, overlooking the Berounka river valley and the ancient castle Karlštejn. The house is designed for an ArgenDnian-Czech family seeking respite from the bustle of Prague. The outer form and appearance needed to conform to local regulations as the house is on the edge of the Český kras nature reserve, which also seeks to preserve local building heritage. Thus the house aligns with the local vernacular; a simple symmetrical gable roof, rounded eaves, traditional rounded clay roof tiles called “bobrovka”, and mixed lime render and larch cladding facade.
