Samorost project
Samorost house – the path to sustainable living
It is a demonstration of the use of mycelium-based material – mycocomposite – in sustainable construction.
The author of the architectural design of the building is Tomasz Kloza, a member of the MYMO association. He designed the house so that its organic shape resembles two beds growing in nature. The mycelium is suitably complemented by other natural materials, especially wood. The construction of the building is simple. The load-bearing wooden skeleton is filled with mycocomposite insulation, which is also used as interior cladding.
The authors of the interior are Karolína Petřeková and Petra Jašicová from MYMO. It has been designed in such a way that it is both captivating at first sight and as practical as possible.
The modular concept of the SAMOROST house allows for different variations in the size of the “hubs” and their internal layout and functions. As a realistic example of a building, a two-module shelter was chosen, where one “bed” is a kitchen with seating and the other is a bedroom.

House Grown from Mycelium in the Czech Republic
The SAMOROST project is revolutionizing sustainable living with the completion of a unique house that uses mycocomposite as a key building material. Developed after two years of research, this innovative mycelium-based material offers a wide range of applications – from thermal and sound insulation to designer tiles and furniture. In the spring, the house will embark on a tour of Czech cities, including Prostějov, České Budějovice, Jihlava and Pardubice, to inspire a sustainable lifestyle.

Interior of the Samorost house
We present you the unique interior of Samorost, the first house made of mycocomposite in the Czech Republic. Take a look at the modern kitchen, elegant bathroom and cosy bedroom, where sustainability and design are combined. Mycelium brings not only eco-friendly solutions, but also sustainable and harmonious living. Are you ready to discover a new world of architecture?

Bedroom – a place of rest, relaxation and peace
All enhanced by minimalist design, purely natural materials, and a round skylight, which is not only a central source of light, but above all a window to the sky, allowing a view of the drifting clouds and glittering stars.
