A simple house on the border between buildings and landscape which provides a background for the creation and life of the owners. Premek´s land looked like a nice peaceful meadow under the forest but the whole thing looked easier than it actually was. The land lies on the border of the third and fourth zones of the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area.
