The brief was to design a simple family home that would meet the requirements of a young family with children. The location of the house on the plot was defined quite clearly by the planning study, which, however, did not fully reflect the sloping terrain. Therefore, the design of the house required an atypical solution that, in addition to the prescribed regulations, also took into account the terrain configuration.

The sloping terrain was incorporated into the design from the very beginning. The layout and operation of the house responds to the slope and the Raumplan was created, which takes place on three height levels. This division of the house allows direct access to the two-storey building at two different levels. The main entrance at the 2nd floor level is located at the northwest corner, while the 1st floor residential level, located one level below, is connected to the garden to the southeast. The recesses at the corners, which disrupt the basic simple mass of the house, are not primary, but highlight the individual entrances to the house. This creates a covered parking space on the northwest corner near the main entrance. On the southeast corner of the house a partially covered terrace was created with a connection to the living and dining area.

The facade of the whole house is designed in a uniform material. The wooden vertically oriented planks visually enhances the whole building. Over time, the wooden planks acquires a patina and the grey facade becomes unified and blends into the garden.
