来自建筑事务所的描述。山顶之屋，这一建筑坐落于厄尔士山区中 Mníšek的小村庄的山脊处。场地距离法国边境1000米，山顶处可以俯瞰独特的山区全景。此地海拔750米，看到周围的风力涡轮机就可以知道其气候情况。

The property, located on a mountain ridge in the tiny hamlet of Mníšek in the Ore Mountains, about one kilometer from the German border, offers a one-of-a-kind panoramic view. The climatic conditions are what one might expect at 750 meters above sea level, and are reflected in the presence of nearby wind turbines.

这一建筑采用传统的设计方法：两层，坡屋顶，它的轴线与街道同行，两个车库，车库的屋顶平台延伸出来，形成灰空间走廊并可直接进入一层。建筑拥有良好的朝向，起居室向周围景色开放从而获得良好的采光。从当地的道路沿着建筑的北部边界进入，可以获得南面极佳的景色。

The house is of a traditional design – two floors with a gabled roof, its axis parallel to the road, with an attached two-car garage whose flat roof also covers the walkway leading up to the front door. Thanks to the property’s excellent orientation, the living spaces open up to the surrounding vistas while also letting in sunlight. The local access road follows the property’s northern border, with unique stunning views to the south.

这一情况反应在建筑内部的布局上。宽敞的起居室空间与大面积的落地窗相协调。此地短暂的夏季让设计者需要设计一个冬季花园来替代，花园位于建筑西南侧中部的露天平台，可以通过起居室与餐厅到达。由于大面积可移动的窗户，这一空间在温暖的季节可以永久的开放。它成为整个建筑的中心。冬季花园旁的直跑楼梯可以直接到达屋顶平台。

This situation is reflected in the building’s interior layout. The expansive main living room is lined with large floor-to-ceiling windows. The short summer season inspired the addition of a winter garden – a covered terrace in the central part of the southwestern facade that can be accessed from the living and dining rooms. Thanks to a large sliding window, the space can be permanently opened during the warm season. It has become the heart of the house. A single-flight staircase next to the winter garden leads to the upper floor.

虽然建筑内部采用木材质与浅色调为主题，但建筑的外部材料选用当地特有的黑色木板。这一木材的原始颜色由氧气保护涂层保护，不需要使用合成清漆，只需要通过加热木材这种环保的方式就可使其呈现黑色。屋顶由陶瓷屋顶瓦和现代的灰色釉料铺设而成，造型简约清爽。

While the interior is characterized by the use of wood and light colors, the building’s exterior is clad in the dark wooden planks typical for this location. The wood’s original hue is guarded by a protective coating of oxblood. The black color is achieved in an environmentally friendly manner, by heating the wood and without the use of synthetic varnish. The roof covering is traditional ceramic roof tiles, with a modern gray glaze and a simple shape.

这一建筑被认为是一座节能房： i.e.,尽管在极端的条件下，建筑也只需要最小的能耗。通过现代技术的运用来控制建筑的通风，热泵以及智能家庭自动化。另外，节能的一个重要前提是建筑的简洁与合理的形式：Stempel & Tesař设计的建筑典型特征。理想的定向的大面积窗户在冬季占据优势，并消除了节能房不能拥有大面积的窗户的固有成见。

The building is certified as a passive house – i.e., it requires a minimum of energy despite the extreme conditions. This was achieved through the use of modern technology to control the building’s ventilation, a heat pump, and smart home automation. Nevertheless, one important precondition was the building’s simple and rational form – a typical trait for the architectural designs of Stempel & Tesař. Thanks to its heat gain, the ideally oriented large-format glass offer an advantage in winter and belie the preconceived notion that passive houses cannot have large windows.
