When an architect builds a home for themselves, it shows. No compromises, no blind following of trends, just thoughtful work with space, light, and the surrounding landscape. Every detail here has its purpose, every material was chosen for quality, durability and aesthetics. Each window was designed to frame a breathtaking view.
Welcome to Nučničky, to a house where modern architecture meets the absolute tranquility of nature. A place where each day begins with a view of the Elbe River and evenings are adorned with sunsets over the silhouettes of the Central Bohemian Uplands. Here you’ll find a home, that respects both the landscape and your needs. A home with a soul.
The house stands in an exceptional location. From the living room and both bedrooms you’ll have a direct view of the Elbe River, gently flowing between fields and mature trees. And when you sit in one of the studies? A panorama of the Central Bohemian Uplands unfolds before you, picturesque and dramatic at once. Nučničky is a small village near Travčice, close to Litoměřice, where you’ll find everything you need. Yet, life here still follows the rhythm of nature, far from the city’s hustle and bustle.
Don’t expect a catalog project. This house was designed and built by the architect for themselves, emphasizing functionality, maximum use of space, and harmony with the surroundings. The layout is meticulously planned. The central heart is a generous living room with a kitchen area, offering nearly fifty square meters of space for family life and gatherings with friends. From here you can directly access the terrace, where in summer, you can sit under the pergola and feel the tranquility of nature all around. Evening views of the Elbe River are breathtaking, making you think you never want to leave for work again.
The private part of the house consists of two spacious bedrooms, each offering a beautiful view of the Elbe River. The master bedroom has the added value of a bathroom where you can draw energy while bathing and gazing at the river, bringing you peace. Both bedrooms also feature walk-in closets, combining taste, elegance, style, and practicality. Two separate studies provide a quiet space for working from home, and thanks to the view of the Central Bohemian Uplands, they become a true place of inspiration.
The practical side of living is complemented by a utility room with ample storage space. Storage areas are omnipresent, whether it’s the closets in both bedrooms or the built-in wardrobe in the entrance hall. And if that’s not enough, the basement offers nearly eighty square meters of storage space, where you can easily store sports equipment, seasonal items, or anything else you need to have on hand but out of sight.
The load-bearing structure is made of ES07 CSB masonry blocks with 180 mm external insulation, giving the house excellent thermal insulation parameters. The roof consists of a wooden truss structure anchored to the perimeter walls and covered with OSB boards. It’s a flat roof, insulated with XPS boards and finished with a double bitumen membrane topped with gravel. The basement is built from monolithic concrete and permanent formwork, complete with thorough waterproofing. The facade features a mix of fine and coarse-grained plaster on top of the insulation system, giving the house a clean, modern, and timeless look.
The windows are seven-chamber plastic frames with triple glazing and an excellent thermal transmittance coefficient of Uw < 0.8 W/m²K. Heating is provided by electric heating mats, with a separate thermostat in each room. As a cozy bonus, there’s also a stylish solid-fuel fireplace. Hot water is supplied by an electric boiler with a connection ready for future solar heating.
Wastewater is connected to the municipal sewer system, and rainwater is managed via an infiltration tank on the property. The house is hooked up to the public water supply and electricity grid, with all utility connections designed for maximum safety and efficiency.
Given the proximity to the Elbe River, it’s absolutely essential to mention that all living areas are located safely above the Q100 flood level as well as the high-water mark of the historic 2002 flood. Thanks to this and carefully planned flood protection measures the home is well protected even against extreme weather conditions.

This house was built to last for generations – no compromises, no chasing passing trends, that go out of style in a few years. The interior is all about natural, honest materials. Large-format tiles cover the floors, not just pretty to look at, but also highly durable. The walls are tastefully accented with wood paneling, adding warmth and a sense of natural elegance. The color palette, a mix of white and anthracite, feels clean, timeless, and gives the future owner an easy foundation to tweak the interior style to their own taste.
At the heart of the home is a modern IKEA kitchen, fitted with high-quality Siemens appliances and completed by a spacious American-style LG fridge. Everything in the interior was thoughtfully selected with practicality and long-term aesthetics in mind. All doors in the house are custom-made, flush, 220 cm high, with concealed frames emphasizing the sleek, modern vibe throughout the home. The bathrooms and sanitary fittings come from a mix of brands, chosen with an eye for quality craftsmanship and timeless design.
And when it comes to the technical side, this house is ahead of the curve. In the utility room, neatly tucked into the ceiling, you’ll find a heat recovery ventilation unit keeping the air fresh and healthy while minimizing heat loss. Right beside it is the electric boiler, ready for future solar water and electric panel connections, making the home even more energy-efficient down the line.
Nučničky is a small, peaceful village nestled right next to Travčice and Litoměřice. Perched above the Elbe River, it’s surrounded by a landscape that invites quiet walks, cycling adventures, or simply sitting by the water and letting time slow down. Thanks to its location, the village offers the perfect balance between nature and convenience – you can drive to the center of Litoměřice in 10 minutes, and reach the D8 highway (Prague–Ústí nad Labem) in just 15 minutes.
Despite this great accessibility, Nučničky has kept its authentic rural charm. What you’ll find here is peace, privacy and a real connection to nature. Around the village, there are riverside bike paths, vineyards, orchards, and stunning views of the Central Bohemian Uplands. It’s a place for those who want to hit pause, breathe deep, and truly enjoy each day. And Nučničky isn’t just about nature — it’s about community too. The people here are kind, welcoming, and it feels like one big family.
This house isn’t for everyone — and that’s what makes it so special. It’s for those who long to live close to nature, but don’t want to live in isolation. For those who value peace and quiet, but still want to have a town and essential services nearby. It’s for people who appreciate honest architecture, where everything has a reason and nothing is just for show.
This is a home for someone, who isn’t looking for a cookie-cutter house from a catalog, but for a place with soul, personality, and its own story. It’s for someone, who looks forward to misty mornings, to watching the calm river drift by and to evenings, when the sun dips behind the romantic silhouette of the Bohemian Highlands.
If that image makes your heart skip a beat, maybe this is exactly the home you’ve been waiting for.
