The Family Villa in Trněný Újezd is spread over an area of 4000 square meters. This plot is located on an elevated hill at the very northeastern edge of the village of Trněný Újezd near Mořina. The villa´s foundation consists of 5 ancient farmhouses.

Even though originally distinct and genuine, the architecture of the house stems from the traditional structural shaping, including the slopes of the roofs and the absence of any window openings in the roofs. The family house is divided into a total of three buildings of traditional rural shapes with their proportions perfectly integrated into the character of the surrounding village. The individual masses are interconnected by glass necks. The neck, which connects the main building with the garage, serves as an entrance vestibule. Another fully glass neck construction connects the main building, containing a living area and bedroom, with the guest house levitating partially in the air above the slope descending north into the garden. Under this house are stored all outdoor technologies so that they are not visible anywhere.

Several original surfaces were used on the house:
The main buildings are lined with ceramic tiles in the format of 180x30 cm with wood décor laid out in a parquet pattern. This pattern completely envelops the entire façade and roof, except for the two gable walls.

The garage and the guest apartment structures are wrapped in an artificial turf surface and are embellished with a subtle aluminum structure in white. This construction is also complemented by stainless steel cables, which are set up here for climbing plants.
High sloping ceilings are repeatedly used in the interior. You can find them in the children's bathroom, which is designed as a wooden house, and in the main bathroom at the master bedroom. The high ceiling over three floors is also in the hall above the staircase, freely passing on through the capillary cooling wall shaped like a bush into the children's studio. Similarly, the sloping ceiling is also used in the garage and a main studio located above it. Rather inventive here is also the method of cooling which, in the garage for example, uses a capillary chandelier made of copper tubes.

Worth noticing is the kitchen utensil storage wall, which is designed as a large circular mirror with its height reaching from floor to ceiling. Instead of a door, the entire mirror rolls to the side, revealing the storage space behind it...

There are many other details in the house that you only notice when you live in it. For example, a wall clad with large-format slabs in a concrete décor which holds up a cantilevered wooden staircase. Several of these slabs are warped so that from their joints orientation lights are dispersed to the staircase at night.
