The functionalist villa colony on the southeastern part of the Baba in Prague's Dejvice, was built as one of six European colonies of modern housing. The construction of this family house, a villa, from 1939 according to the project of Dr.ing. Antonín Černý, who was both the owner and builder of the villa, is one of the intact preserved villas in this area and is now part of the declared Baba monument zone ( 1933 ).

The overall architectural approach tries to honor the quality and modernist legacy of the original design and the preserved condition. The reconstruction responds to the current requirements of family housing but is also focused on the renovation of some elements, especially steel windows. The villa is newly completed with a brick english courtyard making the garden accessible from the basement level, the same bricks are used for the walkways and plinths.

Static calculations were used to verify the basic conceptual design of the load-bearing structures, assess stability and determine the dimensions of the main structural elements.
Overall, this is a detached brick family house, which has a basement (recessed 1pp) and has two floors above ground (1np + 2np). The ceiling structures are made of reinforced concrete (mainly beams) and are covered with a flat roof. A visual inspection of the family house did not show any serious defects (cracks) or excessive deformations. Its condition corresponded to its age and maintenance.
As part of the construction work, the existing foundation joint was not overloaded, the load-bearing capacity of the existing foundations was considered satisfactory. No interventions were made to the existing foundations.
A new English courtyard with a staircase was built, which does not affect the foundation of the building. The structure of the English courtyard consists of reinforced concrete walls (using BD20) and a base reinforced concrete slab with a staircase of thickness. 150mm, on foundation strips. The slab + walls of the yard are connected by reinforcement. The walls are founded on strips of plain concrete, to a frost-free depth of at least 0.8m and a width of at least 300mm. The English yard is dilated from the existing building.
