The vestibule gives access to the technological block and leads to the main corridor on the ground floor. Directly opposite the entrance area, there is an atelier, a separate toilet, and next to it a bathroom for children. The architects located the bedroom with its own bathroom and wardrobe in the northeastern part of the floor plan.

The interior is characterized by a combination of wood, white plaster, and natural materials. The composition is complemented by black accents of details.Text description provided by the architects.The project of young authors Monika and Marek Ivanko from the Monmar atelier tries to find an answer to the question of how to combine the life of a young family and work. Therefore, they designed a house that, in addition to the primary living area, also creates space for their atelier. The realization also serves as a "showroom" of their work. "We are not afraid to bring the client to our home and show him how the house could look and have a function" the authors add. A simple rectangular house with a gable roof, respecting the local character of the landscape and buildings, is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, surrounded by fields and meadows. Due to its direct contact with the surrounding greenery, it looks as if it has grown naturally from it.
