<Viladům Braník>

A steep southwest plot, in the middle of a residential neighborhood above the river, with a view of Prague.
The house is divided longitudinally into two sections. The front section - the living area - is an open space without further division, which throughout the length of the facade opens with "wide-angle" sliding glass walls into the valley. The living space becomes the exterior. In the rear section, there is compact utility space, installations, and stairs. Both sections are separated by sliding walls. The rounded shapes of the house resemble the design of radios from the 1950s; the deformation is a response to the geometry of the plot and, above all, an expression of the popularity of "non-shapes." The house interprets functionalist buildings in this part of Prague, with mirrored symmetry being an irony in the context of the style. A preference for anonymous non-styled modern construction. A fascination with bunkers in Normandy. Entrepreneurial baroque.

If the plot has a clear quality - for example, in the view into the valley - I logically focus primarily on maximizing this quality, emphasizing it; any consideration of further shaping of the house is more or less redundant.
In architecture, I am interested in things that cannot be over-designed. I see it as my duty to submit to them. At each location, the house is designed in advance. The task is to find it.
Then, only the adequacy of the house in all contexts and logically good internal function matters. To seek the essence and the simplest path from point A to point B.

The architect should simplify "things," not complicate them.
