Family house in Kunratice

The newly built family house is located in the built-up area of Kunratice. The boundaries are formed by Křiváňská Street to the north and Klínovecká Street to the east. The remaining boundaries are bordered by private plots. There used to be an existing family house on the site, which was demolished. The place is easily accessible and is situated in an area with diverse residential development. The terrain elevation of the plot allowed the two-storey house to be partially embedded in the ground. In view of the requirement for maximum use of the garden area, a cross-configuration of the volumes of both floors was chosen. This allowed the second above-ground floor to be lightened and cantilevered above the ground floor's living terrace.
The main entrance to the house is designed on the first above-ground floor. The ground floor houses the technical facilities of the house and the main living area. The vestibule acts as a connecting hub between the house and the garage, which is designed for two cars. The vestibule includes a spacious wardrobe. Following the vestibule is a corridor with stairs, a toilet, a bathroom, a technical room, and the main living space with a study, kitchen, dining room, and pantry. This floor connects to the garden through a wooden terrace, which leads to the outdoor swimming pool.

The second above-ground floor contains the quiet part - a bedroom with a wardrobe, two children's rooms with a shared bathroom, a study, and a technical room. The bedroom and one children's room lead to a spacious outdoor terrace. One of the children's rooms has floor-to-ceiling glazing with a view of the garden.
The house is designed in proportions that reflect the surrounding buildings. Both the outdoor and indoor material solutions are austere, predominantly featuring concrete in various forms such as exposed ceilings, cement floor and wall coatings, and facade concrete panels. Wood is used as a complementary material on the floor of the upper floor. Window and door openings are aluminum profiles with insulating glass.
