The bookworm owners of the Long Brick House were looking to create the perfect city escapewhere they could practice their literary love in a tranquil environment. Located on a slope in between the lush Pilis hillside and surrounded by local flora and fauna, the home was built around the original plants and trees found on the property.

The combination of the 50 cm thick brick wall and concrete ceiling slab work to provide insulated temperature control on the inside.
