<html>Dům na okraji Českého Ráje</html> <html>House on the Edge of the Czech Paradise</html>
The plot is very gently sloping to the southwest. It is bordered by a state road to the north and a municipal road to the east. The house, with its elongated narrow shape and placement along the road, protects the rest of the property from northern winds and the noise of traffic. All rooms are oriented southward towards the garden and the views of the Český ráj. The house is intended for the permanent residence of a young family. The rationally designed location of the entrance and parking area connects to an atypical interior layout. One enters into an elevated winter garden, which serves as a communication hub in the house and simultaneously divides it into a representative part and a service part. The floors of both sections are connected by a walkway over the winter garden. The comfort of living in nature is complemented by a sauna and a hydro-massage bathtub.
The house, located on the outskirts of Český Ráj, is a wooden structure with a classic 'two by four' frame construction and a diffusion-open composition. It is very pleasant that the building achieves low-energy standards even without the need for complex technologies. There is no automatic ventilation in the house, no heat recovery takes place, and there is no central vacuum cleaner here. However, passive solar gains are maximally utilized, as large windows on the southern facade allow the sun to warm the interior even at sub-zero temperatures, without concerns about high heat losses through the windows, which were deliberately not skimped on. In the summer, the essential external blinds take over the thermal regulation function. The house is heated by a gas condensing boiler, and the monthly gas bill for heating and hot water for the Hilpert family is less than a thousand crowns. In the future, solar panels will provide hot water. The family also enjoys heating with the fireplace, which, thanks to the ingenious layout of the heated air distribution, warms the gallery of the living room and the winter garden. The gallery is made of reinforced concrete, so it accumulates heat very well and strengthens the entire wooden structure.
The house is divided in the middle by the winter garden, which has solved the common problem of wooden buildings: noise. The winter garden serves as a barrier between the living room and the bedrooms, allowing the children to sleep peacefully while the parents have guests. The winter garden is an important space in itself. It is a semi-outdoor area that is very practical for country houses, but today it is often forgotten.

třeba by se to dalo i při 18 °C vydržet
