Family house in Lety near Dobřichovice

The low price of the nearly unstoppable plot of land for a family house in Lety near Dobřichovice was bought at the cost of very complicated building conditions. The plot was a challenge, and the atmosphere of the Berounka valley was enchanting. This motivated the investor to approve the purchase. The plot is narrow, only nine meters, and it is also located in a flood protection zone. This meant that all living rooms had to be placed on the upper floor. However, the view of the Berounka from the living room is all the more beautiful as a result.
At the time of selecting the plot, we had no idea that the requirements of the investor would be more complicated than the plot itself. These changed with every consultation, partly due to the changing situation in the family. After the agreed project, major changes came, resulting in a second new study. The first design planned for a completely open ground floor, with the house conceived as a floating wooden wagon on a steel structure. The second design already accounted for the use of the ground floor for technical rooms, a garage, and space for occasional living.
The structure was ultimately designed from concrete blocks, which, unlike the project where the skin was to be insulated and clad with silbonite boards, were insulated and plastered on the outside. The interior underwent no changes, so the exposed concrete walls, in contrast with the colorful surfaces of the doors and built-in furniture, create a very pleasant and intimate living environment despite the rawness of the surfaces.
