Municipal rental house with small-sized apartments
Location. The building is located in the area of the City Heritage Reservation of Slavo- nice, the northern and western facade is built on the site of the city walls. The buildings that previously stood in the area of the construction site have not survived, except for a devastated house from the late 19th century on the western edge of the plot, which was - apart from the western perimeter wall made of fragments of the stone city wall - demolished, although its footprint had to be preserved.
Layout. The new building consists of two multi-storey wings positioned in accordance with the medieval parceling of the city and connected at the north by a lower section. Between them, a garden-like courtyard is created, clearly defined against the street, as its level respects the original terrain level, which was approximately one meter higher than the street level.
Construction. The load-bearing structure of the building consists of transverse walls. The western perimeter wall of the floor along the gallery, clad with wood, was designed as a ventilated sandwich of a lightweight wooden column structure, but was executed by the contractor as masonry with a wooden veneer. Part of the load-bearing vertical structure consists of frames made of solid wood.
Fasades and materials. The facades have a dual character, depending on whether they stand on the site of the city walls and face outward from the city, or whether they are the inner walls facing the city. The western and northern facades, which are built along the courtyard in the location of the former walls, have a wall made of stones from the demolished medieval wall (thickness 30 cm) added up to the height of the gallery's parapet to the brick perimeter wall (thickness 37.5 cm), which were found in the rubble that formed the upper layer of the foundation. At the southern end of the western facade, approximately 9 m long and 6 m high preserved fragment of the wall is incorporated into the stone wall, which was built up to the full height of the building, corresponding to the presumed original height of the wall of 8 m. Above the western and northern stone wall, the facade in the front plane is formed by a wooden structure supporting the roof, and in the second plane, a wall covered with fire-treated pine. The other facades, that is, those facing the street and the courtyard, are plastered. The infill of openings in the plastered facades was designed in two different planes (on the ground floor 15 cm behind the facade face, on the upper floor flush with the plaster with a drip). However, the construction carried out the installation of all infills in a uniform position 15 cm behind the facade face without informing the authors. The plastered facades are topped with a wooden cornice of a concave circular segment profile.
An important element of the facade is the sgraffito, which, in medallions of 40/40 cm, enhances the rhythm of both courtyard facades. In a creatively more freely designed strip of 120 cm in height, it accentuates the part of the object visually closing the street, where it creates a vertical termination motif instead of a segmented wooden cornice, but in direct continuation of it.
