Reconstruction of a Bungalow to a Modern Single-storey House with an Internal Atrium // Bradlec

Although the shape and material design of the house respects the traditional architecture and landscape in which it is set, it meets all the requirements for modern and comfortable living.

The large north facing glazing of the living spaces is complemented with southern skylight windows, which bring the necessary direct sunlight into the interior.

The interior layout of the house is barrier-free and subject to clear and practical household operation. The modern architectural concept of this house respects the character of the Jeseníky Mountains foothills landscape.

For a beautiful plot in Čeladná, an equally beautiful house was designed in harmony with the surrounding nature, which has a facade of burnt wood and large windows allowing views of the peaks of the Beskydy Mountains.

On a small plot on the outskirts of the city, very inconspicuous and simple house in the shape of symmetrical “U”, in which a spacious terrace hidden from the surrounding sights is placed, was designed.

All large windows of this house lead to the terrace and close from the surrounding world. The house thus makes its own island of privacy on small plot with nearby neighbors.

The plot with grown up pines and northern view of the landscape offers a unique opportunity for a house that floats on columns between the tree trunks.

Owing to the different opinions of the married couple, whether the design should be modern or traditional, an original concept was created. The house consists of two different masses which together form an X-shape floor plan.

Unconventionally, the house was designed as an extension to the existing garage located in the garden with many mature trees, which have been preserved to the maximum extent. The inner atrium and facade timber cladding emphasize the original spirit of the garden.
