Family house in Hostivice

The concept of the house is based on the suggestions and ideas of the client and people in their surroundings. For neighbors the house is of clear shapes, bungalow like with a flat roof. For family the house creates a true experience of shapes. The crucial point for the design was the requirement of getting a central space – the heart of the house. This was reached by designing three closed functional blocks with a joint triangle center in the middle.
