A new construction of a generous family house at the foot of Ještěd in the Hanychov district. The layout and design of the project were developed with the awareness that the building is located in a place that provides an exceptional view of the entire Liberec and is also located at the foot of a mountain with an icon of Czech architecture of the 1960s.

A new construction of a generous family house at the foot of Ještěd in the Hanychov district. The aim of the project was to create contemporary, affordable and artistically valuable family housing on the ground plan and foundations of a ruined gym from the 1950s. The setting on the terrain is articulated by distinctive terrain walls made of gabion. Given the already very different architecture of the surrounding buildings, the house is designed very simply and creates a harmonizing element. The pitched roof is also chosen due to the local weather conditions. The house artistically stems from the place - the expressive means are stone or the texture of stone and wood - both in the exposed roof structure and in the joinery and furniture. A detail contrasting with the simple form of the house on the outside is the unconventional division of windows inspired by the architecture of the 1960s. The interior design contrasts with a calm kerosene color and large-format author's linocuts from the 1960s on the theme of Liberec and Ještěd. The house with a usable area of 160m2 offers a generous living space with kitchen and dining room with a view of Liberec from the western foot of Ještěd. Then a parents' bedroom with a dressing room and private bathroom and 2 children's rooms. The house is equipped with veneered and varnished joinery and furniture made of solid wood.
