IST is a minimalist house located in Čunovo, Slovakia, designed by JRKVC. There are certain principles encoded in traditional folk architecture, verified by the generations that have past, which are still relevant to today’s sensibilities. In the context of the need to reduce our ecological footprint and energy waste, this is especially true. During the design process the architects looked back to these principles. They proposed a fusion of old and contemporary architecture. The icon–shaped house has a small footprint, tiny picturesque windows and a porch.
