Brokeš's villa

Litomyšl has become a great breeding ground for quality architecture over the past ten years, thanks mainly to the creators from Brno concentrated in the Town Hall. It is pleasant that architectural quality has touched not only public buildings, but also the private sphere. The villa for the Brokeš family is a testament to this.
In a residential area of mediocre architectural quality, Martin Rudiš realized a compositionally divine house, whose greatest assets are proportions, work with the interior space, materials, and the continuity of Czech architectural tradition. Proportionally elegant cuboid clad in brick cladding (the size of the bricks hints at a non-domestic origin of the masonry…) is exquisitely cut and illuminated by windows with black frames. A pleasant wooden terrace expands the living space on the ground floor and creates a connecting motif between the interior and the exterior. The sunken pool creates a crater in the garden and contributes to its diversity.
The interior is airily opened up by a living room across two floors. The cuts into the cuboid intimately illuminate the inner spaces in an already complicated urban situation. The precise choice and work with materials contribute to the positive perception of the interior.
The Brokeš villa in Litomyšl is a beautiful Czech example of this type of construction.
