Fox Den stands in the tranquil woodlands of Juków, Kutno County, Poland. This project transforms a historic barn into a sophisticated metal artisan workshop on the ground floor and an eco-luxe, open-plan one-bedroom apartment above. With a landscape design that brings the outdoors in, Fox Den balances rustic charm and contemporary refinement for a truly bespoke countryside retreat.

ARCHITECTURE
The design preserves the barn’s original elongated structure and window placements, while elevating the roofline to create a bright, spacious artist’s apartment. Striking timber trusses and multiple skylights fill the interiors with natural light. The exterior’s dark anthracite panels deliver a sleek, modern finish.
The workshop features its own private entrance; the apartment is accessed via a south-facing terrace with a sunken fire pit—perfect for year-round enjoyment.

INTERIOR + FIT-OUT DESIGN
Inside, the apartment exudes modern country elegance with open-plan living, exposed timber trusses, polished concrete floors, and natural finishes like timber and cork.
The workshop’s industrial fit-out features robust concrete floors, perforated metal panels for flexible storage, and plywood wall accents, creating an adaptable space for artisan work.

SUSTAINABILITY + ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
Fox Den is a model of sustainable retrofit. The design maximizes the original footprint, retaining foundations and key structures. The south terrace uses gabion panels, reducing the need for new concrete and encouraging natural greenery.
Expansive views, passive solar design, and natural materials ensure a low-impact, high-comfort living experience.
