Family house in Ostrava-Heřmanice

Form
We have adapted the building to the character of the surrounding development. A detached family house, a single-story unbasement building, covered with a gable roof, and a separate garage with a flat roof.
The garage is built to the level of the neighboring family houses. The house itself is aligned with the garage, located at the back of the plot. This created line, supported by a uniform surface of the eaves walkways and open spaces in front of the garage and between the garage and the family house (river gravel - Japanese garden), is the main idea of the whole concept.
The line has two functions, creating two distinct approaches and characters. In a parallel direction, it creates a communication space; conversely, in a perpendicular direction, it creates an obstacle, a wall.
The "wall" of the house and garage is positioned 3 meters from the northeastern boundary of the plot, parallel to it. This has shielded the plot from a potential noise source from a garden restaurant. Along the southwest side of the plot, there is a row of trees that we propose to enhance. These two lines define the garden, which communicates with the internal space of the house through glazed surfaces and terraces.

Content
The family house functions as a whole, but it can be divided into 3 separate operationally functional parts. Two separate studio apartments in the northern part (which can serve as rooms with their own sanitary facilities) and a duplex apartment connected by a gallery divided into a social and a quiet area. In all spaces, a perception of depth in the layout is ensured.
I. NP:
The entrance hall with wardrobes and the staircase with storage space divides the I. NP into a part of the studio apartment with sanitary facilities and the main living space with a kitchen open to the attic. The main living space includes a pantry and a toilet. The living spaces are extended into the garden by outdoor terraces.
Attic:
To the north of the staircase is a layout identical studio apartment with sanitary facilities as in I. NP. To the south of the staircase is a dressing room, bathroom, bedroom, and an office located on the gallery.
The garage is a single-space structure.
