House in Petrova

...house in the green hillside above the Vltava

A beautiful garden, a beautiful task... Three wishes... The client's first big wish was to live in the greenery of nature, to blend as much as possible with the old garden, to open the house with large sliding windows, creating one flowing, lively space.

The second big wish was the view – the garden is on the slope of a wooded hill, overlooking the valley of the river...

A logical concept emerged in response to both wishes – a glazed ground floor, part of the garden... a large living room with an open layout, connected to the kitchen box... and a white block of volume of the upper floor as a captain's bridge with a view of the countryside...

The house has a green mound on the street side with a hidden garage, the living area of the ground floor is not visible, on the green lawn there is only a small white cube of the upper floor...

Intimacy and privacy was the third big wish...
