Architectural solution
1 / Wish of the future lady of the house to create an absolute outdoor intimate space, without uninvited views from the surroundings. We called it an oasis of calm.
2 / genius loci - flowing sloping terrain with a view of the opposite hills and forests.
How to achieve views from all areas of the house on the picturesque hills, use the terrain with the elimination of excavation work and, above all, how to create absolute privacy that will allow you to enjoy the house indoors and outdoors without shame?
These attributes determined the clear, clean and simple concept of the atrium house on a platform, copying the smoothly sloping terrain. Flowing house in flowing terrain - FLOW HOUSE.
A very simple, clean and well-arranged house was created from a demanding request. The one-storey building breaks through the terrain and opens up space for views from the quiet and social part of the house. This bend optically creates two floors, and at the same time leaves the impression of a single-storey, spatially varied body. The house is designed as a noise barrier for the local road, relatively tucked below the road level. The whole house is open to the garden in the western part with a descent, thus creating an intimate, hidden and protected, quiet living space from the surroundings. The main mass of the house consists of three wings, forming the letter U. These are connected by a covered terrace, which completes the designed atrium - an oasis of calm. From the upper part of the house and from the lower part of the terrace there is the same view of the garden full of trees and the opposite hills.
