Come with us on a tour of the family retreat that architect Peter Jurkovič designed for his family, off the shore of a lake in Vojka nad Dunajom, Slovakia.
The one-story bungalow has a wall of glazed folding doors that frame a view of the lake.
A hip roof protects the wooden deck from rain and sun.
The stoop is a single stone slab set in gravel.
Inside is a central living area; the ladder leads to a sleeping platform beneath the hip roof.
The cottage is heated by a freestanding fireplace.
The master bedroom on the first floor has a wall of masonry blocks to absorb and radiate heat from the fireplace in the central room.
