An unconventional modern cottage in the mountains
The municipality of Abertamy is a town in the Karlovy Vary District with a population of 975. It is a high-altitude settlement and a recreational center located on the ridge of the Ore Mountains, 8 km northeast of Nejdek. The parcel in question, 765/89, is situated in the newly developing Plešivec area, near a popular ski resort.
According to the land-use plan, the area is designated as a mixed-residential area of a village type. The spatial regulations defined for the area are as follows: a built-up area coefficient of 0.7, building height limited to 2 floors + attic, and a minimum green space of 15% of the total plot area.
The modern cottage in the Ore Mountains is the first demonstration of the newly developed "Popcorn" system. It is based on the principle of "modular assembly" using individual elements/spaces/rooms/units. By appropriately connecting and arranging these modules, a spatial structure of the building as a whole is created—a growing pattern.
Client review:
"We would like to thank Michal and the Momentura studio for the excellent collaboration on the realization of our mountain cottage. From the very beginning, we were impressed by their professional approach and the preparation of all materials, including the stunning visualizations and the physical 3D-printed model of our cottage. The collaboration was amazing for us both professionally and personally, and everything was carried out to our complete satisfaction."
Interior
The main central living area with the kitchen and dining room is naturally illuminated from all four cardinal directions. The arrangement of the individual modules provides sheltered interior spaces as well as privacy for the adjoining outdoor areas.
The interior is based on warm wooden tones, complemented by colorful accents in fabrics and upholstery. The plywood ceiling emphasizes the unique forms of the modules, giving each room a distinctive character. The design carefully incorporates ample storage, often integrated directly into the surrounding walls. Lighting elements are selected for their simplicity, with a touch of Scandinavian design.
