The family house stands in a residential neighborhood on the outskirts of Prague, in the vicinity of the site of a significant historical event, on a plot with a gentle slope and open views of the countryside. The context of the location, arising from the tranquility of suburban development, notable historical traces, and engagement with the terrain, became one of the fundamental starting points for the design and shaped the massing solution of the house as well as its relationship to the landscape.
The investor's desire was to create a maximally pure house in which architecture naturally intertwines with visual art. The building thus arose from close collaboration between architects and leading Czech and foreign visual artists. Artistic works are therefore a natural part of the house – from the entrance to the garden.
The architectural composition works with the contrast of two masses – a massive base and a subtle upper floor. The entrance level partially cuts into the western slope. The front wall made of exposed concrete and its relief is also the first work of art you will encounter here. The author is Federico Díaz. Also noticeable is the stainless steel entrance gate leading to the garden by Petr Demek, complemented by the house number and orientation in minimalist graphics by Jan Šerých.
The operation of the house is logically divided according to the terrain and the function of individual spaces. The entrance level with a garage, clubroom, and technical background is largely embedded in the western slope. This leads to the living floor with an open communal space and a study, from which you enter a loggia oriented towards the street. The quiet part of the house with bedrooms and bathrooms opens to the garden. The transparent layout utilizes sightlines that enhance the spatial experience of the interior arrangement. Glazed walls from the north and west define the living part of the garden with a terrace and create the impression of a protected, semi-open atrium. In the very heart of this space is a sculpture by Stanislav Kolíbal. Its geometric purity resonates with the architectural lines of the house and gives the garden an almost spiritual dimension.
The interior is tuned to light tones. White walls, lacquered furniture, and light terrazzo floors create a neutral, almost gallery-like environment. This restrained material and color framework allows the artistic works to stand out, as well as the changing images of the landscape outside the windows, and strengthens the concept of the house as a refuge for focused, calm living with art.
