The house is located in the Liberec region, in a village with a predominantly rural development. The ground floor of the original house is used as an exchange for grandparents, the newly built part and part of the original attic is used by a family of four. The design of the house was inspired by the principle of dividing the original cottages into a living area and an outbuilding.
The architects cleared the original building of outbuildings and preserved the brick structure, reinforced the ceiling and finally insulated the house. They decided to follow the path of linear extension of the figure of the original house and preserve the rectangular plan. The linear structure is cut in the middle with an opening that connects the space in front of the house and behind, creating a distance between the outbuilding and the new part, while creating a covered space for outdoor seating. The length of the house extension was limited on the west side by the position of the retained pine tree.
The material and architectural expression of the old and new parts is clearly defined by the different execution of details and materials, both in the interior and exterior. The new part is conceived in a purely minimalist way, while the old part is a combination of new and refurbished fragments of the original building. The principle of dividing the original cottages into a living area and an outbuilding served as a source of inspiration. This division had its operational and material differences. The architects reinterpreted it into its present form.
The house on the ground floor responds in height to the terrain profile of the plot, with the level of the dining room and living room lowered compared to the entrance. The vertical connection between the ground floor and the attic takes place in the entrance area. The connection between interior and exterior, the spatial airiness, plays an important role in the new part. The design sought a balance between detail and the financial demands of such a design. For this reason, for example, some parts are made with a hidden gutter and some parts of the house admit it.
The internal arrangement is logical, the living rooms are located on the ground floor and are oriented to the private part of the garden, also to the south. The kitchen overlooks the entrance and driveway of the property. In the attic there are rooms for sleeping, resting and cleansing. An important detail in the bathrooms is the use of captured rainwater for internal flushing needs.
Another detail the architects played with are the handles. They used the Lusy handle in a black TiN-K finish, which they placed on the doors and windows. "The Lusy handle looks subtle, elegant. We are comfortable with this fitting for our projects, we perceive a balanced price/design ratio. In addition, it is also available in a window version, so we can match the overall design of the fittings. In this case, the client left the choice of fittings up to us. We like how the black colour on the handle creates a contrast on the door. We use M&T hardware in virtually every project. We like the brand portfolio and the local Czech production."
