The location above the Branice Rocks near Dobeška offers beautiful views of Prague Castle over Vyšehrad, and at the same time of the Pankrácá Plain and the entire urbanized Vltava Valley.
The proposed building respects the original construction of the house by its location and orientation towards Nad Lomem Street. It respects the rhythm of the spacing of the houses and its height does not exceed the height of the main cornice of the original building, on the contrary. Thanks to its lower height, it allows a better view of the existing buildings than the original building.
The building brings a new, modern, contemporary architecture to the site, standing on the foundations of the original urban connections and relationships and responding to the historic surrounding buildings.
The villa connects the vertical elements of each floor in the form of receding and elevated sections, with predominantly massive glazing on the Prague skyline. From the south side, from Nad Lomem Street, the house is minimalist and simple.
Operationally, the house has 5 floors - two above ground and three below ground. The entrance is from Nad Lomem Street and the garages are connected to the northern part of the street. The floor level of the house thus overcomes the elevation of the plot of 12 meters and allows access to the terrain of all floors except the 2nd floor.
The main part of the house is oriented towards the city, following the pattern of the surrounding buildings and urbanism. The house fully communicates with the garden and takes advantage of the sloping terrain. All floors are connected by a direct staircase and a lift.
Materially, the house is designed with a combination of noble materials and pure white plaster. Its structure, scale, choice of materials and garden design corresponds to the surrounding buildings in this lucrative part of the city.

Structurally, the building is designed as a reinforced concrete skeleton consisting of monolithic walls, pillars, ceiling slabs, staircases, supplemented with steel columns, based on a monolithic reinforced concrete foundation slab in combination with belts. The rigidity of the house is ensured by the monolithic connection of the walls and ceilings or the elevator shaft. The masonry partitions are dilated in relation to the supporting structure. The roofing of the building is a flat single-skin roof with a classical sequence of layers. The façades of the building are designed with a system plaster on a 200 mm thick EPS insulation contact system in combination with a façade made of ventilated board cladding material or stone cladding. The facade openings are filled with wood-aluminium windows with thermal insulating triple glazing. Terraces with glass railings, with stacked paving on terraces, awnings of steel sheathed construction. The building has a Schindler S3300 elevator from level 2 to level 3. The interiors consist of heavy floating floors with a ground layer of solid wooden templates or large format ceramic tiles in combination with ceramic, wooden tiles complemented by sight trowels or plaster. Filling of openings doors with concealed and panelled frames or pro-glazed walls. The paved areas around the building will consist of concrete elements faced with stone tiles or paving.
The heating system is designed as a low-temperature, two-pipe system with forced circulation of heating water using circulation pumps. The heating method is floor heating. Electric heating ladders are installed in the bathrooms and washrooms.Air handling units are used for ventilation of the living areas.
