Family house, Prague

The building has two above-ground and one underground floors. The composition of the house consists of three main volumes, functionally and materially distinct. From the street, a simple ground floor volume of the garage makes a visual impact, with its façade made of black alucobond. The entrance to the actual family home is through the two-story part of the building, which is clad in large-format travertine cladding at the level of the second floor. From the elevated part of the house, a southwest-oriented glass cube of the living room extends into the garden, covered by a flat green roof with a large overhang. The edge of the roof is clad in cedar wood. A natural swimming pond and a large garden with mature trees adjoin the main terrace of the house. The plan includes two supplementary structures, both featuring slanted roofs and cedar cladding.
