<translation>Apartment building</translation>
Architecture
During the project submission, several circumstances came together that could be considered favorable. The regular grid of volumetrically identical buildings, which could be built upon, gave a certain exclusivity at the edge of this grid, also required by the developer.
The number of apartments limited by subsidies and the size structure of the apartments determined by market demands released the usual tightness found in similar buildings. Above all, in regard to the comfort of interior spaces, both common and private, interventions were made into the cuboid mass, where a parasite figurine nestled, giving the building the shape of a comical giant dog.
The developer was evidently satisfied, and there was unexpectedly high interest in the apartments. It could seem that the building, due to its certain distinctiveness and looseness, was indeed attractive.
At the first meeting of the cooperators after the handover of the apartments, a barrage of accusations fell upon the author. From a bridge where children could fall to terraces illuminating corridors and staircases, which could be filled in and added to the apartments.
It seems that the parasite of the architectural figurine, which occupied the construction of an otherwise solid apartment building, will ultimately be eradicated by the desire for architectural purity and functionality from the cooperators (some of them). I just fear that the cooperators, driven by noble motives, might start expanding outward.
Description of the Building
The apartment building is located in the urban area of Kroměříž, at the end of a group of apartment buildings from the 1980s just behind the premises of the famous Psychiatric Hospital. The plot on which the building is situated slopes gradually to the southwest. It is bordered by a roadway on the south, west, and north sides, and on the east side, it adjoins an existing apartment building.
The building is designed as a five-story structure with a service basement. The entrance to the building is located on the ground floor from the east side via a footbridge. In the central part of the apartment building, the structure is cut back on the east side across the ground and first floors, and on the west side, it is cut back across the first and second floors.
A direct single-flight staircase with a landing runs through the central part of the building, illuminated from the sides with glazed walls. An elevator is part of this communication area. The internal layout of the apartments has been adjusted according to customer requests.
In the service basement, there are operational rooms and garages. This floor is set into the ground compared to the adjusted terrain. The basement of the apartment building is designed with 17 garages for passenger cars, cellar spaces, a staircase, an elevator, and the elevator machine room.
On the first and second floors, there are four apartments each, and on the third floor, there are five apartments. The fourth floor has six apartments, of which two are duplexes leading into the fifth floor. In total, there are 19 apartments in the building.
Construction
The construction-technical solution is based on the achievable material base, which was considered by selected construction firms. The project also respects the developer's requirement for the use of materials with a high quality level that ensures long-term operation with minimal maintenance demands.
The vertical load-bearing external structures are designed from ceramic brick components. The internal partitions are designed from perforated bricks and solid fired bricks. The load-bearing pillars are made from solid fired bricks. The elevator shaft is made of reinforced concrete.
The ceiling structures of all floors are made of filigree concrete ceiling slabs. The total thickness of the ceiling slab, including additional concrete, is 200 mm. The load-bearing beams are made of reinforced concrete. The lintels above window and door openings are ceramic or reinforced concrete. The balcony slabs are made as reinforced concrete cantilevers. Above the building, the roof is designed as a flat (3° slope) double-layer with a wooden load-bearing structure and a covering made of folded aluminum sheets. The ridge of the roof is positioned in the middle of the building in the longitudinal direction, and the roof is sloped towards its longitudinal edge. The structure of the roof slope consists of wooden rafters, which are mounted into wooden purlins, and on these rafters, formwork from OSB boards and a waterproofing layer is executed.
