An
archaic-looking object attracts attention in the green, gently rolling
landscape near the Croatian village of Kumrovec. What would seem a
sharp-edged bale of straw at first glance turns out to be a carefully
restored building on closer inspection. The transformation of the former
agricultural structure into a holiday home has been effected by equally
simple and precise means.
Taking cultural heritage into consideration, Proarh Architects have pursued an approach that retains the original shape of what had become a dilapidated building while making purist use of the materials straw, wood, glass and stone.
