Architecture firm Atelier Lina Bellovicova, has designed a modern cabin in Chriby, Czech Republic, a mountainous region with a dense deciduous forest.
The house, surrounded by nature, is built with a wood frame that uses hempcrete for the walls.

Hempcrete was chosen as the main material as it has great insulating features, is recyclable, and is also resistant to pests, fire, and molds.

The roof design is such that it allows for a green roof to be included, blending it with the surrounding greenery and helping to insulate the home.
