Rodinný dům ve Středočeském kraji

Rodinný dům ve Středočeském kraji
Address: Czech Republic
Project:2001
Completion:2005
Built Up Area:600 m2


Architecture is the manipulation of space in reaction to a specific context. The site ,a former stone quarry with a complex topography, is located on a nearby hill with panoramic views to the town. The architectural intervention was conceived as an investigation between construction and nature, between site and architecture. The project is dominated by an architectural sound wall which provides the ordering system of the project. All functions are derived and referenced to its strong presence.

The stone wall defines both conceptual and programmatic strategies. Conceptually, it resonates the origins of the site through material and craft. Programmatically, it becomes both a geometrical ordering system countering the organic topography, as well as a visual and sound blocking device required by the client.

The east-west block runs perpendicular to the stone wall and accommodates all public functions including the entrance, kitchen, dining, living, and swimming pool. It is further defined by a volumetric fragment sequence from opacity (the east stone wall) to transparency (the glass swimming pool) .

The north-south block runs parallel to the stone wall and accommodates all private functions, including the garage, master bedroom on the groundfloor , as well as the two guest apartments on the first floor. It is further defined by a light/visual sequence from south to north south light filters from above while undesirable south view is blocked at eye level. Strategic views are defined by specifically placed openings, including the swimmers window (a low window only usable when one swims).
