Family house in Hodoňovice

The single-story family house is designed for a young family with a cat. The builders chose our studio based on references in magazines and from the very beginning wanted a simple small house on a small plot. Therefore, we designed it to be placed as close as possible to the eastern boundary of the lot, so that the unconstructed part can be utilized as a garden to the greatest extent possible.
The design is based on the principle of the so-called "Socratic house," where the living rooms are opened towards the southwest with large windows, while the back part of the house contains rooms for technical, storage, and sanitary facilities. The windows are protected against the summer sun by the eave of the roof, while the winter sun penetrates deep into the house. The roof overhang also covers a large living terrace and two parking spaces.
The layout solution is designed in a three-meter modular grid. The main living space of the house adjoins a quiet area with two children's rooms and a parents' bedroom.
The walls of the house are made of aerated concrete blocks, and the structure of the shed roof is wooden. The exterior facade of the house consists of cement-bonded particle boards in a natural shade.
