Family house on the vineyard meadow near Mělník

The placement of the house in the center of a small plot neglects the traditional division of the garden into functional zones; instead, it emphasizes the connection between the house and the landscape through characteristic views. Each part of the garden has a distinct character due to the cardinal directions, just as each facade has a unique view because of the morphology of the surroundings. In each facade, there is a single recessed opening. The number of openings equals the number of sides and the number of characteristic views of the surroundings. The size of the windows is determined, among other factors, by their appropriate orientation to the cardinal directions. The deep recesses of the windows protect the rooms from harsh sunlight. The deep sills offer the possibility of unconventional storage solutions within the interior.
The largest space on the ground floor is the living room with the kitchen; a small study and a utility room are accessible from the foyer. On the upper floor, the hall with the staircase forms the central space for the bedroom area, while the hall in front of the bathroom is designed as a dressing room, and the remaining part serves as a children's playroom. The spiral staircase continues to the roof extension, from which there is access to the rooftop terrace.
