Basis
The chalet will be built of solid wood, i.e. logs. Its design is based on a hayrack, which is a typical wooden structure in Slovenia.
Concept
Parallel self-standing walls, typical of hayracks, are erected on the plot. Different sets of walls form different spaces: living area, sleeping area, open garage, storeroom and guest room. These spaces are covered with roofs that connect the hayrack walls. The gaps between the logs forming the walls vary in size and let the light through in a controlled way. This also means that you can see through some of the walls. This unique design makes it possible to build a chalet called HAYRACK.
