This rectilinear wooden cabin in Hungary by young studio Béres
Architects nestles up against the exposed rock face of a former quarry.
Hungarian architects Attila Béres and Jusztina Balázs of Béres Architects designed Hideg House as the holiday home for a couple and located it on the outskirts of historic town Kőszeg.
A geometric black frame encases the two sections that make up the house,
while a sheltered terrace sandwiched between offers view out over the
landscape as well as back towards the jagged rock face.
"Natural light and views to the surrounding nature were the most
important factors in the arrangement of spaces," said the architects.
The owner and his wife spent three years building the house themselves.
The outer frame was constructed from roughly sawn larch, while the two
contained volumes also use larch, but were sanded smooth and left with
their natural colour.
"The contrast between the rough sawn larch cladding stained black on the
exterior surfaces and the same material with natural finish and smooth
surface on the inside leads visitors towards the interior spaces," said
the architects.
The largest side of the house contains the main living spaces, including
a combined living room, dining area and kitchen, as well as a bedroom
with an adjoining sauna and bathroom.
The smaller western end of the house is a self-contained guest suite.
Like the rest of the interiors, it has a plain interior with white
walls, plain furnishings and timber-panelled flooring.

Here's a project description from Béres Architects:
Hideg-ház – Kőszeg, Hungary
Focusing on sculptural cliffs and friendly hillside woods, Hideg-ház
is an unusual object in the landscape of the outskirts of Kőszeg, a
charming historical town in Hungary.
The site had been used as a quarry a few centuries ago so the exposed
rock face was one of the strongest elements of the environment. In order
to get enough direct sunlight all-year-long and to stay close to the
sculptural cliffs, the building had been placed about 10 meters above
the road that runs along the bottom of the valley.
"An abstract footprint of a family's lifestyle - perhaps these are the
best words to describe the floor plan" architect Attila Béres says. The
wooden cabin is floating a few steps above the natural terrain. The two
parts are tied together with a thick black frame. These units taken
apart create space for the covered outside terrace which became the
central space of the cabin with its perfect views towards the colourful
forms of the exposed rocks and the woods on the south side.
Natural light and views to the surrounding nature were the most
important factors in the arrangement of spaces. The solid and open
surfaces of the 110 sqm building react to these elements as well - large
but shaded openings towards the best views on the south side, glimpses
of the rock from accentuated spots on the north.
The contrast between the rough sawn larch cladding stained black on the
exterior surfaces and the same material with natural finish and smooth
surface on the inside leads visitors towards the interior spaces. The
clear white walls in the interior pick up the random colours of the sky
and the surroundings.
The building is located in a country with very diverse climate. Hot
summers and cold winters desire a smart mix of architectural decisions
to keep the cabin comfortable and easy to run in all four seasons. The
clients had a clear concept about what they wanted to achieve in terms
of building services and comfort. A combination of high-tec and simple
ecological solutions resulted in extremely low energy consumption and
moderate building cost.
Hideg-ház is the first project realised by Attila Béres and Jusztina
Balázs. Their young architecture firm started the design of this
building in 2009 when Mr. Hideg noticed Attila Béres in Wallpaper
magazine's Graduate Directory – an annual list of talented young
architects. Detailed design and construction of the cabin finished in
2013.
Mr. Hideg and his wife spent 3 years on site to build this precisely
detailed and custom-tailored house by hand. They carried out almost
every phase of construction from cleaning the cliffs to building custom
furniture. Their devotion and insistent enthusiasm had key importance
along the process of design and construction of the holiday home.
