Sitting on the property of the Tereza chalet in the Czech Republic, the Cerna Voda Mountain Lodge houses some very lucky guests. The simple gabled form is clad in a mixture of blackened aluminum and matching timber siding, a stark contrast to the snow-covered surroundings of the Krkonoše mountains. Although it’s dark and brooding on the outside, the interior is a warm retreat. Walls, floors, and ceilings are lined with golden wood planks providing a minimalist cabin atmosphere. Contemporary fixtures and geometric tiles emphasize the modern tone. Large panels of glazing afford views of the neighboring peaks while an exterior steel terrace overlooks the Malá Úpa river below.
