Family house in Beroun

The plot of the house is located on the western edge of Beroun. It is on the border of open countryside and the city, near the edge of the forest on a gentle terrain wave. A significant advantage of the location is the view across the valley. In addition to electricity on the plot, there are no utility networks – drinking water is provided from a private well, heating and hot water is ensured by a ground-source heat pump, and wastewater is managed by a domestic treatment plant.
The building is designed as a compact regular mass with a free composition of window openings. The roof of the house is sloped and "cut" in the longitudinal direction, responding to the configuration of the surrounding terrain. The house has two floors and is not basemented. Most of the ground floor area is occupied by a living space with a kitchen nook, as well as an entrance hall, a toilet, and a technical room. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Both the interior and exterior emphasize the use of natural materials and surfaces – smooth exposed concrete ceilings, stucco wall plaster, natural linoleum, wooden windows, a steel staircase, and wooden surfaces of the deck terraces.
From a construction perspective, the house is a one-strip structure built with traditional technologies, namely concrete foundation strips, masonry load-bearing walls made of thermal insulation ceramic blocks, monolithic reinforced concrete ceilings, and a flat roof with an inverted assembly.
