The family house was built as a two-storey basement and with a non-residential attic at the beginning of the 20th century. The house is individually tailor-made with many atypical details and construction principles. The whole project is accompanied by an element of a triangle and an area formed by bamboo or larch elements, defining new parts of the house. Modifications on the 1st floor consist of relocating the entrance in the porch, demolishing the main load-bearing walls and connecting the original rooms. There is a generous and airy space with a kitchen, dining area and living room. The connection with the garden is provided by a corner glazing partly covered with a bamboo sunshade. The original wooden staircase was removed and replaced with a new one, made of a steel structure lined with wood. On the 2nd floor there are rooms and sanitary facilities. The attic space with a bedroom and a bathroom manifests itself in an expansive way on the façade through distinctive elements.
Thanks to the replacement of the original truss elements with steel rafters and tie rods in the floor, the unused land becomes a large open space. Originally a brick street sign, it was replaced by a glass wall and a bamboo sunshine, there is a bathroom with a shower. Intimacy is achieved by bamboo. The glazing is reflected in a similar way on the other side of the side tract in the form of a garden triangular dormer, which forms a space for outdoor seating. Here, the railing materially connects to other bamboo elements and forms a unified whole with them. The central motif, repeated throughout the house, is the shape of a triangle, which gently decorates the interior and exterior of the entire house. The interior is used in every room, in various sizes and quantities. Especially in wooden and ceramic tiling, in the folded solid floor, furniture and its handles or in black and white cement paving, which was made to measure according to traditional production.
