A home where light creates space

A home where light creates space

When creating a home of our own, we dream of a cosy interior where we can find peace and tranquillity. It should embody the qualities of contemporary architecture, yet even more important is a warm, inviting atmosphere that nurtures aesthetic sensibility and brings colour to everyday life. Add to this the natural light streaming into the interior - at times soft and subtle, at others bright and vivid - and the result is a home full of life. It is within such an atmosphere that this single-family house was built in the charming town of Cieszyn.

Wood decorating your home

Every detail matters here: materials, light and shade, proportions. To achieve this effect, all that is needed are well-designed windows that seamlessly connect nature with a touch of innovation. The INNOVIEW FAKRO vertical windows installed in the house are crafted from a combination of timber and aluminium cladding, which protects the natural material from external elements. The oak window profiles, finished in a clear matt coating, are paired with black external cladding featuring a subtle sandy texture, creating a harmonious whole. The result is an interior that feels warm and inviting, while retaining a modern and elegant character.

Glazing surrounding the space

Large glazed areas draw the eye throughout the house. The FAKRO HST lift-and-slide doors installed in the living room, combined with the FIX non-opening window, visually enlarge the space and blur the boundary between the interior and the inviting terrace. Together, they form the largest source of natural light in the house, spanning the entire room. As a result, the space feels more expansive and offers exceptional views, particularly of the abundant greenery outside. The HST doors also feature a low Eco Pass threshold - just 5 mm high - ensuring seamless, unobstructed access to the terrace.

Details matter

Details matter The overall design reflects meticulous attention to detail, with every decision carefully considered. The window handles, finished in black anodised coating, harmonise perfectly with the HST handle models, selected in the same design and colour finish for consistency. Meanwhile, the minimalist design of the sash profiles and the REGULAR-shaped glazing beads lends the interior a refined touch of elegance.

Light has power

Light has powerWindows and doors throughout the house are designed to harness natural light, allowing the interior to follow the rhythm of the day. In the morning, sunlight streams through the kitchen windows, illuminating the modern worktops. By afternoon, the sun casts golden reflections across the grey floor. Importantly, the windows prevent the room from overheating in summer. The VMZ external awning blind acts as a protective barrier, absorbing solar radiation before it reaches the glazing and dispersing the heat outside. It also shields the interior from outside view during the day, while still allowing clear views of the surroundings. In this way, the awning blind ensures privacy within the home.

The dining room is further enhanced by two GREENVIEW roof windows, which bring in light from above. Natural daylight falls directly onto the table - a symbol of family togetherness - creating a welcoming atmosphere and fostering a sense of warmth and well-being among the household members.

The crowning achievement

The composition is completed by the INNOVIEW garage door, carefully colour-matched with the other windows and doors. Sectional, highly functional, and designed for ease of use, it enhances the building’s modern character while underscoring its luxurious design.

This house is undoubtedly an oasis of peace - a place where light illuminates not only the space, but everyday life itself. Thanks to FAKRO products, it has been transformed into a home that seamlessly blends nature with functionality, demonstrating that a house is more than just four walls; it is a sanctuary of light and warmth.
