House on Lazech II.

The house lies beneath a forest on a sloping, north-facing hillside of Zlín's Laz, with beautiful views into the valley of the city. It loosely connects to the built-up part of the city with solitary family and apartment houses, whose beginnings date back to the pre-war period.
The house is part of a newly created location with five new buildings, arranged on both sides along the traverse of the access road.
The plot is located below this access road. The layout, as well as its height arrangement, is influenced by this positioning. The house is approached slightly downhill, below the road, which is captured by a retaining wall with a separate structure of an attached, sunk garage, creating an intimate microspace before entering the house. The investor required securing visual tranquility from the road for the future garden. Therefore, the house is also covered by a low, semi-buried wing, tucked under the main transverse mass of the house. The spatial arrangement responds to the slope of the land with height shifts in the layout of the first floor. The living and social part of the house, centered around the dining room, is connected via an open staircase to the second floor where the quiet part of the house is located. The social spaces of the living room and dining room with the kitchen are oriented towards the peaceful western sunset over the garden, while also allowing a generous view through a concentrated opening into the valley of the city. The connection to the living part of the garden, nestled between the wings of the house, is supported by a long, covered terrace. In the transverse wing, there is an office, a dressing room, and spaces for relaxation and sports with a sauna, and with direct access to the terrain in the atrium space. The technical and service facilities of the house are in the basement.
The predominant part of the house is plastered with a smooth, light plaster, clearly carved by dark surfaces clad in unpainted wood. The overhang of the second floor, providing shelter to the entrance, is enhanced by lightening with copilit walls.
The materials are classic: smooth light silicate plasters by Paulín, wooden, spruce euro windows, glass copilit, the wood on the façade is thermowood, Nordic pine, without surface treatment. The construction is reinforced concrete, with ceramic masonry.
The garden adjustments are the work of the builder, as well as many interventions in the interior, which were carried out without the influence of the architect.
