Stempel & Tesar completes curved home overlooking a Czech forest

Austere concrete block walls conceal a timber-framed structure that fans out to overlook a garden and pond at House that Opens up to the Sun in the Czech Republic, designed by local studio Stempel & Tesar.
The dwelling replaces a cottage in the village of Malé Kyšice, and was oriented to not only provide expansive views but also to enable the interiors to be passively heated by the sun for a large part of the year.
