The building is located in the village of Terchová, on the main road through the village in the direction of Biely Potok. At the rear of the site, there is one more building not to be modified. With its architecture, the building fits into the context of the surrounding structures and the colour and material highlight the tradition of local architecture. The shape of the roof (its pitch) and the height of the ridge respect the regulations of the zoning plan.

The building is designed as a house with two functions. There is a detached house with a double garage at the rear. In the front, there is an accommodation facility with four accommodation units of different sizes. The functional facilities of this accommodation are located in an adjacent building. An entrance space on the side and a staircase divide the mass of the house into two halves.

The front part of the house is designed as a structurally modified and extended original house. The rear part of the new house with a double garage is designed as a two-storey building with an attic. Above the garage, there is the day part of the apartment in one space, along with a study area. The night part is located on the upper attic floor. There is a bedroom, a children's room and a bathroom. The kitchen and living room are connected to a spacious corner loggia. The front street part of the house has a façade of ventilated wooden panelling.

The finishing is of burnt wood of the Japanese Shou-sugi-ban technique. The wooden façade thus visually defines the functional part of the accommodation area. The rest of the façade of the building - the residential house, is designed in the ETICS contact insulation system. The technical room is located near the double garage within the entrance area. The square-shaped windows in various sizes and doors have wooden frames in a natural finish. Their 'scattered' positioning on the façade has a significant design distinctiveness. The roofs are designed with no overhang. Some walls, ceilings, staircases and foundation strips are retained in the alterations.

The renovated building is designed in energy class A0.
