Family House with White Bricks Cladding and a Distinctive Roof Hem // Zbuzany

The sheet metal cladding in brown colour supplemented with stone cladding provides the house with elegance and inconspicuousness and naturally blends with the surrounding environment.

The size of the original cottage didn't suit the needs of a family of five, therefore they decided for a demolition and a development of a new house. In addition to the requirement of preserving all characteristic features of the original building, the clients wished to bring the elements of the Old-English architecture to the design.

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.

The three arms of this house create nooks and terraces on the plot where the whole family can either meet or, on the contrary, hide from the world. The organic roof line provides coverage and at the same time completes the house naturally.

During the design we respected the client's clear idea regarding the architecture of the house and we completed the required formal look with bites in the corners of the house, which are used as covered terraces or a shelter for the cars.

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.

We designed a house with a layout affected by the spirit of oriental customs for a client originally from Southeast Asia. The light and airy parterre of the house provides a base for mighty storey with an expressive cover of the main terrace.

A house with build-up area of 80 m2 on the steep slope becomes very dominant element for its entire surroundings thanks to the simple shape and three storeys. Beautiful views or the connection of the house with the garden over the bridge adds to the attractiveness of the whole building.

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.
