Dream <strong>home</strong>Zakrivljene stube vode na k<strong>at</strong> kuće /A rounded staircase th<strong>at</strong> leads to the upper floorSpavaća soba i slamn<strong>at</strong>a košara koja ima dijelomfunkciju ormara / A bedroom and the straw basketsth<strong>at</strong> partly serves as a wardrobesurfaces and flowers, as well as from the vineyard slopesth<strong>at</strong> provide its loc<strong>at</strong>ion. Every little thing in this househas its purpose and history, and it was chosen accordingto wishes and ideas from all members of the family:dad Ludovik, mom Irena, son Peter and daughter Eva.We were building this house for about a year, from dusktill dawn, and we were present for every single momentof the construction process. By doing th<strong>at</strong>, we had thechance to talk to the construction workers <strong>at</strong> the verysite and to decide wh<strong>at</strong> needed to be done and how,while they were just following our ideas. It was also importantth<strong>at</strong> we knew exactly wh<strong>at</strong> we wanted, whichsaved us a lot of precious time – Ludovik Cuk told us.He was the one th<strong>at</strong> came up <strong>with</strong> the majority of ideas,and the fact th<strong>at</strong> he is a very cre<strong>at</strong>ive person canbe confirmed by every visitor after looking <strong>at</strong> even thesmallest details in the house.Their dream <strong>home</strong> is made of top-quality red pine fromCarinthia, the finest samples of which grow <strong>at</strong> 1500metres of altitude, and some of them are almost thirtyyears old, including those <strong>at</strong> the top of the electricityhouse. Over 600 square metres of this unique straw roofrequired more than 5500 bundles of high-quality reed86from Hungary, and all th<strong>at</strong> m<strong>at</strong>erial was folded in suchmanner th<strong>at</strong> the house is completely safe from rain,snow, or extreme he<strong>at</strong>.During the construction process, the constructors alsomade sure th<strong>at</strong> the house follows the land configur<strong>at</strong>ion,which might just be the secret of its beauty.Top-Notch WinesThe house is surrounded by two hectares of fertile vineyards,which enables the Cuk family to produce severaltypes of wine, from Riesling, Pinot Blanc, arom<strong>at</strong>icGewurz and champagne th<strong>at</strong> brings tremendous pleasureto all true wine lovers.The Cuk wines also have a butterfly for a trademark, aswell as a unique trilingual name Trojica (named afterthe nearby St. Trinity church).Th<strong>at</strong> is a postal butterfly th<strong>at</strong> spreads good news aboutour wines. We are not <strong>at</strong>tracted to the idea of grandadvertising and marketing, but we do want our gueststo be happy <strong>with</strong> our offer and the quality of our products,which will cause them to spread the word to theirfriends – Ludovik says.The fact th<strong>at</strong> both the offer and product quality are ex-
cellent can be testified by numerous guests from Hungary,Cro<strong>at</strong>ia and Austria, as they’ve constantly beenreturning to the Cuk family <strong>home</strong> for a number of years.Due to the large interest for wine tasting, the familydecided to build another wooden beauty a few yearsago – the Cuk Wine House, which was inherited by Peterand Eva who, along <strong>with</strong> their respective life partners,organize wine tasting for numerous guests. And in orderto make sure the fantastic wine reaches full impact, theguests can also try some of this area’s traditional colddelicacies!A House <strong>with</strong> no NailsOur hostess Irena is in charge of courtyard maintenance,and all guests immedi<strong>at</strong>ely turn their <strong>at</strong>tention to theromantic tit <strong>with</strong> a very interesting table, Ludovik’s ownmasterpiece: he made it out of a piece of acacia andglued it <strong>with</strong> wax! The table weighs five tons, and it tookLudovik three weeks to make it.The house’s interior also fascin<strong>at</strong>es <strong>with</strong> original ideas– the unusually united bar and fireplace in the middleof the living room are decor<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>with</strong> tiny pieces ofHerendi stone tiles from Hungary, and they come in thetender shade of blue. We also find a large wooden diningtable, while the wall is decor<strong>at</strong>ed by icons from famousSlovenian artist Irena Polanec. And as far as thosecomfortable moments of w<strong>at</strong>ching TV, our hostess Irenadecided to order a swinging chair from Ikea.Perhaps the most interesting piece of inform<strong>at</strong>ion regardingthe construction of this house is the fact th<strong>at</strong> not a singlenail was used! The house is made of wood and glassin its entirety, and every beam entered another beamwhile being <strong>at</strong>tached <strong>with</strong> a special type of glue. Twotimes a year, the hosts decide to co<strong>at</strong> the entire house<strong>with</strong> bee wax, which improves the protection level.Minimalist-Style RoomsThe area around the fireplace and bar reveals a roundedstaircase th<strong>at</strong> leads to the house’s upper floor, whichis where we find the bedrooms. Their style is almostminimalist and fe<strong>at</strong>ures a lot of n<strong>at</strong>ure elements, whichcauses the family to often joke about the Flintstones beingenvious of them. When you first enter the room, itappears as though some closets are missing, but everythingis skilfully hidden in built-in closets, shelves andstraw baskets. Every room has its own b<strong>at</strong>hroom, whichis decor<strong>at</strong>ed in earth tones but fe<strong>at</strong>ures a lot of contemporaryequipment – massage showers can quicklytransform into a sauna!Alongside various family memories, our <strong>at</strong>tention isdrawn to angel figures th<strong>at</strong> our hostess is very fond of,and along <strong>with</strong> being passion<strong>at</strong>e about porcelain dishes,she is particularly proud about her kitchen, whichhas been painted in factory Budućnost in Maribor byphysically disabled employees. Painted details on cupboardsrepresent the four seasons of the year, whiledecor<strong>at</strong>ive curtains also carry a strong sense of traditionalstyle; they have been knitted <strong>with</strong> a sample bywomen from the Hungarian region Zalamegye.Every detail in this house was chosen <strong>with</strong> a lot of heart,so we can truly say th<strong>at</strong> this house has a soul – IrenaCuk says.Oslikani ormari / Painted cupboardsVinoteka / Wine-cellar87
