Villa in Modřany
The client requested a distinctive, harmonious, quiet, airy house designed as a single-story building with a sloping or flat roof using natural materials.
The plot was previously occupied by an agricultural building, which, along with the surrounding wall, created an enclosed courtyard. This fact, combined with the requirement for a single-story building, led to a certain simulation in the design of the new construction.
The building is inscribed within a circular curve, which is reflected in the layout by the creation of two courtyards. The clearly articulated line of walls on the eastern and northern sides of the building divides the plot into external and internal areas, creating an intimate space for family life.
The house itself is supported by a curved wall, whose mass permeates the house in various material forms - as stone, concrete with impressions of formwork, and in the future covered with ivy. The internal layout is based on the visual communication of the internal spaces with each other and with external spaces. The predominantly single-story building, with a central communal hall with a kitchen, has a parents' wing and a separately accessible wing for the son. At the core of the house is a circular staircase connecting the main spaces with a study on the upper floor.
The building employs a simple system of masonry cross-bearing walls, with wooden ceiling beams that are visually exposed. The outer shell is made of masonry with thermal insulation and brick with pigmented plaster on the surface. The windows are aluminum, and large sliding glass doors lead to the garden. To provide shading, there are cedar wood louvered walls. The outer segment made of exposed concrete transitions into a stone gabion wall.
